The midnight hour approaches in an almost empty all-night diner. Mari sips her coffee and glances up from a book as a young man, a musician, intrudes on her solitude. Both have missed the last train home. The musician has plans to rehearse with his jazz band all night, Mari is equally unconcerned and content to read, smoke and drink coffee until dawn. They realise they've been acquainted through Eri, Mari's beautiful sister. The musician soon leaves with a promise to return before dawn. Shortly afterwards Mari will be interrupted a second time by a girl from the Alphaville Hotel; a Chinese prostitute has been hurt by a client, the girl has heard Mari speaks fluent Chinese and requests her help.
Meanwhile Eri is at home and sleeps a deep, heavy sleep that is 'too perfect, too pure' to be normal; pulse and respiration at the lowest required level. She has been in this soporfic state for two months; Eri has become the classic myth - a sleeping beauty. But tonight as the digital clock displays 00:00 a faint electrical crackle is perceptible, a hint of life flickers across the TV screen, though the television's plug has been pulled.
Murakami, acclaimed master of the surreal, returns with a stunning new novel, where the familiar can become unfamiliar after midnight, even to those that thrive in small hours. With After Dark we journey beyond the twilight. Strange nocturnal happenings, or a trick of the night?
Nửa đêm đang đến gần trong một quán ăn đêm gần như vắng tanh. Mari nhấp một ngụm cà phê và ngước lên khỏi cuốn sách khi một chàng trai trẻ, một nhạc sĩ, sự cô đơn của cô. Cả hai đều đã lỡ chuyến tàu cuối cùng về nhà. Nhạc sĩ có kế hoạch tập luyện với ban nhạc jazz của mình suốt đêm, Mari cũng không quan tâm và hài lòng khi đọc và uống cà phê cho đến bình minh. Họ nhận ra rằng họ đã quen biết nhau thông qua Eri, cô em gái xinh đẹp của Mari. Nhạc sĩ sớm rời đi với lời hứa sẽ trở về trước bình minh.
Trong khi đó, Eri ở nhà và ngủ một giấc ngủ sâu, nặng nề 'quá hoàn hảo, quá tinh khiết' để trở thành bình thường; mạch đập và hô hấp ở mức thấp nhất cần thiết. Cô đã ở trong trạng thái buồn ngủ này trong hai tháng; Eri đã trở thành huyền thoại kinh điển - một người đẹp ngủ trong rừng. Nhưng đêm nay khi đồng hồ kỹ thuật số chỉ 00:00, một tiếng nổ điện yếu ớt có thể nhận thấy, một chút sự sống nhấp nháy trên màn hình TV, mặc dù phích cắm của TV đã bị rút.
Murakami, bậc thầy được ca ngợi của chủ nghĩa siêu thực, trở lại với một tiểu thuyết mới tuyệt đẹp, nơi những điều quen thuộc có thể trở nên xa lạ sau nửa đêm, ngay cả với những người phát triển mạnh vào những giờ sáng. Với After Dark, chúng ta sẽ du hành vượt ra ngoài hoàng hôn. Những sự kiện kỳ lạ về đêm, hay một trò lừa của đêm?
