Somewhere between the edge of sleep and wakefulness, After Dark resides. Told in one evening, with chapters indicated by time-stamps, Murakami's tale of both somnambulists and insomniacs is still, stark, and seductive. With a delicious bonus "thriller-ish" story thread, After Dark is a little slice of Murakami heaven. Recommended By Dianah H., Powells.com
