<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> 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” (<i>The Washington Post Book World</i>).<br><br>Now with a new introduction by the author. <br></b><br>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, <i>After Dark</i> is a thrilling account of the magical hours separating midnight from dawn.
