There were no magic televisions, disobedient reflections-in short, nothing remotely close to After Dark, but the whole place had that in-between feeling that Murakami describes so well. My first job was at an amusement park and we’d often go to Steak & Shake very late at night after work we’d see the night-shift folks having lunch and an occasional early bird having coffee and eggs. I’m leaning towards “just about perfect” because of the way this book was so absorbing and fascinating and left me with the feeling that anything could happen (even though very few things did). It either feels incomplete or just about perfect and I honestly can’t decide. I thought After Dark would be a good place to start because it’s short. This is the first Murakami I’ve read after hearing about his brilliance for years (and years).
