After Dark

A special hardback edition of Murakami's mesmerising and evocative classic, After Dark. Published in this new gift edition, with an introduction from the author. Eyes mark the shape of the city. The midnight hour approaches in an almost-empty diner. Mari sips her coffee and reads a book, but soon her solitude is disturbed- a girl has been beaten up at the Alphaville hotel, and needs Mari's help. Meanwhile Mari's beautiful sister Eri lies in a deep, heavy sleep that is 'too perfect, too pure' to be normal; it has lasted for two months. But tonight as the digital clock displays 00-00, a hint of life flickers across the television screen in her room, even though its plug has been pulled out. Strange nocturnal happenings, or a trick of the night?
