<\/span> Haruki Murakami\u2019s <\/span>After Dark<\/a><\/span> is a moody novel which explores the lives of Tokyoites in<\/span> the night.<\/span> While 19-year-old Mari intends to spend the evening at a local Denny\u2019s, she encounters a man who insists he knows her sister, setting her out on a night of running around the sleeping city. Murakami \u2014 while exploring themes of reality and how different people perceive it \u2014 beautifully illustrates human relationships and connections and just how easy they can develop when one is open. The book provides sensate and deep descriptions of the city and its civilians, which immerses the readers in Murakami\u2019s world and makes the 208-paged novel appear as not long enough. After Dark is an enjoyable read if you are interested in magical realism and novels centered around human relations.
