After Dark
by Haruki Murakami
After Dark reads very much like a screenplay, complete with camera movements and narration in present tense. It's different, and I can't say I prefer this style, but it works for After Dark in particular, especially due to the time-stamp structure Murakami employs here. Themes of sisterhood are really what earned the stars for me - although I enjoy all of the classic recurring elements (here there are cats, and some sort of alternate dimension to name two), it's Murakami's simplistic renderings of complex human relationships that consistently draw me in.
