After Dark - Haruki Murakami
What happens during the night? After the last trains have left? Murakami weaves a tale of the night which leaves one, wondering, reminising.. about our own nocturnal adventures.
Mari wants to be out of her home and seeks refuge behind a book, in an all-night diner. A man recognises her and starts a conversation.
From there, the night moves into incidences with violence in a love hotel, new friends made, self-discovery, secrets unveiled...
Sometimes surreal, sometimes heartwarming... very engrossing.
Another Murakami book worth reading. Highly recommended, 4 out of 5.
