A sleek, gripping novel of encounters set in Tokyo during the spooky hours between midnight and dawn, by an internationally renowned literary phenomenon.Murakami's trademark humor, psychological insight, and grasp of spirit and morality are here distilled with an extraordinary, harmonious mastery. Combining the pyrotechnical genius that made Kafka on the Shore and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle international bestsellers, with a surprising infusion of heart, Murakami has produced one of his most enchanting fictions yet.From the Trade Paperback edition.

This is my first Haruki Murakami book! Beautifully written, but not just my cup of tea.
Onestamente il finale m'ha lasciata perplessa. Quando ho finito di leggerlo mi sono chiesta: «Non hanno inserito le ultime pagine, mi sono persa qualcosa oppure non ho proprio capito niente?!». Ancora adesso non so la risposta, ma mi dispiace che il libro sia finito in quel modo.. In un certo senso m'aspettavo tanto altro, che la storia continuasse perché mi ha lasciato un piccolo vuoto dentro... Come del resto mi è successo anche con il primo libro di Murakami che ho letto tempo fa (Sotto il Segno della Pecora). Trovo che il bello delle opere di questo autore sia proprio il senso di riuscire a capire tutto e niente di ciò che racconta... E come questa cosa mi affascina, allo stesso tempo mi fa rosicare veramente tanto! :
A very well-written story about nighttime in Tokyo and how it's completely different, full of violence and intersecting life paths. People change once the light comes out as if a new page in a book has been turned over. I love it.
