From Publishers Weekly

Murakami's 12th work of fiction is darkly entertaining and more novella than novel. Taking place over seven hours of a Tokyo night, it intercuts three loosely related stories, linked by Murakami's signature magical-realist absurd coincidences. When amateur trombonist and soon-to-be law student Tetsuya Takahashi walks into a late-night Denny's, he espies Mari Asai, 19, sitting by herself, and proceeds to talk himself back into her acquaintance. Tetsuya was once interested in plain Mari's gorgeous older sister, Eri, whom he courted, sort of, two summers previously. Murakami then cuts to Eri, asleep in what turns out to be some sort of menacing netherworld. Tetsuya leaves for overnight band practice, but soon a large, 30ish woman, Kaoru, comes into Denny's asking for Mari: Mari speaks Chinese, and Kaoru needs to speak to the Chinese prostitute who has just been badly beaten up in the nearby "love hotel" Kaoru manages. Murakami's omniscient looks at the lives of the sleeping Eri and the prostitute's assailant, a salaryman named Shirakawa, are sheer padding, but the probing, wonderfully improvisational dialogues Mari has with Tetsuya, Kaoru and a hotel worker named Korogi sustain the book until the ambiguous, mostly upbeat dénouement.

From AudioFile

In a stroke of genius, Murakamis latest novel places listeners behind the lens of a camera and proceeds to describe what they are looking at. On the page, this is a finely crafted experimental novel; it also works especially well in the audio format. Janet Song reads to perfection, her voice shifting its tone slightly as she focuses on one character, then another. She seamlessly captures both Chinese and Japanese accents. The short novel itself, focusing on the lives of a few people as they struggle to exist between midnight and dawn in a seedy Tokyo neighborhood, might at first seem trivial. It is not. Perfectly paced, it slowly reveals more and more about these complicated lives. Were not only interested--were mesmerized. R.R.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Magical novel, Jui 24 2007
Par Patrick St-Denis (Laval, Quebec Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: After Dark (Hardcover)
Haruki Murakami's After Dark is more novella than novel. Indeed, the US edition weighs in at only 191 pages. I was a bit put off by its length, to tell you the truth, yet I discovered that the book is as long as it needs to be. Murakami's tale draws you in and won't let go, and soon the number of pages becomes meaningless.

This magical realism story is an intimate narrative that follows the interwoven storylines between a number of disparate characters: Mari, a young student determined to spend the night away from home; Eri, her sister, a fashion model who's been slumbering inexplicably for the last two months; Takahashi, a jazz trombonist who stumbles upon Mari and recognizes her; Kaoru, the manager of a "love hotel" and her staff; a Chinese prostitute brutalized by a customer; Shirakawa, the businessman who beat up the hooker. After Dark explores how these men and women are all related, with everything occurring during the span of a single Tokyo night.

In this flawless translation, Haruki Murakami's impeccable, evocative prose expounds on the different states of loneliness.

The dialogues, even when they appear innocuous, show a lot of insight, while the deep and more thoughtful conversations are a delight.

Still, it's the atmosphere created by the author which makes After Dark a special read. The ambience is sublime, as if the night became a character in its own right. The darkness becomes a time of revelations, a period of transition in the lives of the cast.

As a short, sleek book, After Dark is perfect for the beach, the plain, or the train. Bring this one along with you on vacation and you won't be disappointed!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Darkly delicious, Oct. 18 2009
Par Sandra Michalski (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
A true masterpiece from possibly the best fiction writer this century. Murakami never fails to impress with his carefully crafted worlds. In this novella he veers away from his usual first person narrative and tells a story in third person present tense; the effect is highly cinematic. The reader becomes "a single point of view" taking the form of a "midair camera that can move freely about the room."

The most impressive aspect of this novella is how Murakami courageously battles new genres and themes in each of his works. This novella beautifully compliments his other works. And while it may not be as thorough and rich as "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" or "Kafka on the Shore", reading "After Dark" was as luxurious and hedonistic as slowly sipping a fine glass of red wine. I found myself "biting off and chewing it one line at a time" just as Mari does her own book in "After Dark."

Murakami deserves more than five stars! An excellent piece indeed.
