After Dark - Haruki Murakami - książka

Opis

In this mesmerizing novel by a master of surrealism, the boundary between reality and dreams blurs even more sharply due to sleep deprivation. As the clock approaches midnight in a nearly deserted diner, Mari quietly enjoys her coffee and book, yet her peace is shattered. She is drawn into helping a girl who has been assaulted at the Alphaville hotel. Meanwhile, Mari's enchanting sister, Eri, remains in an unnaturally deep sleep that has continued for two months, a state described as 'too perfect, too pure.' At the same time, although the TV in Eri's room is unplugged, a spark of life briefly appears on the screen as the clock strikes midnight. Are these occurrences a series of eerie events or merely tricks played by the night? With a new introduction by the author, this work is praised by the Evening Standard as a 'captivating mood piece, delicate and wistful.'
