They meet each other not on purpose but by accidental circumstances that force them to admit one to another a common major truth. A room that seems to float into space, with a bed, a ‘'paranormal” T.V set and a haunting, abnormal male figure sitting in a chair.ĭo these people romantically blend into the night? I guess not. While the “deviation” is culminating with the help of Murakami's mesmerizing use of language, we observe Eri deeply sleeping in the unsettling environment of a room that is taken straight from a traditional Japanese horror story. There's a voyeuristic sense when we first notice Mari sitting alone in a table and later when Tetsuya randomly accompanies her in a casual dinner and subsequently takes her out in a date in the park. From the very first page of the book, Haruki Murakami introduces us to voyeurism. The reader is quickly identified as a no stranger to this kind of characters. Of course, there's always a seemingly preppy pervert hidden in the night named Shirakawa and a team of good Samaritans in an unfitted place, a love hotel named Alphaville, Kaoru, Korogi, and Komugi. Another might practice his trombone with his jazz band until the first morning hours like Tetsuya Takahashi – a proper slacker. One may read a book in a family restaurant like Mari Asai.
A variety of activities can be done after midnight next to sleeping.
