After Dark

From the New York Times bestselling author—a gripping novel of late night encounters that’s “hypnotically eerie sometimes even funny but most of all … [a book] that keeps ratcheting up the suspense” (The Washington Post Book World).. Now with a new introduction by the author. Nineteen-year-old Mari is waiting out the night in an anonymous Denny’s when she meets a young man who insists he knows her older sister thus setting her on an odyssey through the sleeping city. In the space of a single night the lives of a diverse cast of Tokyo residents—models prostitutes mobsters and musicians—collide in a world suspended between fantasy and reality. Utterly enchanting and infused with surrealism After Dark is a thrilling account of the magical hours separating midnight from dawn.
