After Dark
by Haruki Murakami
After Dark dives into similar themes as two other books of him that I've read, The Wind up Bird Chronicle, and Killing Commandatore. We are in between the real world and the world of dreams, floating back and fourth. It atmospheric, it's eerie, it's ephemeral. Yet After dark does not manage to evoke the same kind of immersion as the other two books. Maybe the length has something to do with it?
It feels like this book is part one of a longer story that Murakami never completed and that leaves me disappointed.
