Book: After Dark – Haruki Murakami
Finished reading this book a couple of days ago, it is a 200-page translated story by Japanese author Murakami. I don’t recall ever reading an English translated novel before, I thought that this sounded very natural at most times, except at some rare extreme situations like calling an LCD a “liquid crystal monitor” multiple times.
The book tells the story of a single night in which a teenage girl spends the ‘after dark’ hours in the city and the incidents and people she meet there. The story slowly turns into a story about two sisters who lived all their lives together, yet somehow have completely different lives.
I really liked the book, the author has a very unique way for story telling, the narrator in the book is almost like an unknown being who is trying to understand what is happening as it tells the story, but the narrator is not actually a character, so I don’t know how to explain it.
The book sort of reminded me of the Persona games in terms of atmosphere, even though this book had nothing to do with supernatural powers really.
I thought this was a refreshing read, I might read something else by Murakami in the future, I like his books cause they are short and nice!
