[FAN-ACCOUNT] "The book that Kris was read" - From 121113

To my surprise, Kris was reading Murakami Haruki's novel, After Dark.

After Dark, a novel by Japanese author Murakami Haruki, "is a streamlined, hushed ensemble piece built on the notion that very late at night, after the lamps of logic have been snuffed and rationality has shut its eyes, life on earth becomes boundariless and blurred. Individuals w

ho were separate during the day begin to lose uniqueness, to leak distinctiveness, melting into a soft psychic collective. As the hands of the clock slice deeper into the shadows, physics weakens, yielding to metaphysics, and the rigid you and I of things breaks down. During the wee hours, we’re all in this together, our spirits spooned like lovers’ bodies."

(T/N: I had replaced the fan's brief description of the novel with an excerpt from the book review by The New York Times.)
