Description
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.
A beautifully packaged hardback edition of Haruki Murakami's mesmerizingly evocative classic, now with a new introduction by 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?
'A captivating mood piece, delicate and wistful' Evening Standard

About the Author
Haruki Murakami (Author, Introducer) In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
