I've blogged before about how much I love the art of Takashi Murakami.
There's an author named Haruki Murakami who I keep hearing about. I finally got this book of his at the library, and *loved* it.
As the title suggests, the story takes place after dark, from midnight to the wee hours of the morning. Murakami creates a surreal atmosphere, one that is both enticing and eerie. Even after reading the book, I'm not quite sure what happened...it's like I was in the Twilight Zone with the characters.
This book left me wanting more of Murakami. I just picked up Norwegian Wood, which some say is his best writing. Can't wait!
