"The move of the night" a book to reconnect

Tokyo to Odaiba Peninsula

My friend Anne put me one day in the hands of lovers sputnik me praising the talent of writer Haruki Murakami . I discovered a contemporary writing, strange, poetic and a rare mastery. I promised myself to read his other works and the challenge of vagabond stars gave me the impulse. The choice of Passage of the night was simple, he was waiting on my shelf!


Nightlife

The story of this book is both simple and complex to summarize. Few hours at night in Tokyo, we discover the relationship between two sisters distended: Husband, the younger, timid student in Chinese seems to have decided to spend the night in a Denny's - a chain of American restaurants open h24. Eri, the eldest, a beauty that appears in magazines, sleeps a deep sleep and too rigid in his cozy room.
Mari meets Takashi, a former classmate of Eri. A boy a little awkward, a jazz musician. In the darkness, a televison sizzles and turns without being connected. On the other hand, a waiting place ...

Over hours and meetings, distancing blunted. Muraki painted the town in the middle of the night. The latter gives the duality of human relations: engaging in certain protected confidences, while others threatened, rock, victims or perpetrators. These lives, immersed in darkness are significantly different from the day ...


Like in the movies ...

Tokyo

Writing simply and directly follows a very cutting cinematography. If a director wants to bring this book to the screen, so the adaptation will be minimal sets, characters and story-like scenario.

Bias narrative plays this similarity with the timely intervention of a narrator as objective as a camera. An unusual
observer who described the first report on the most fantastic novel, and captures the soul of the city not really asleep.


Shadow of the film Alphaville flat and fits even in neon the sign of a love-hotel. And then there are the many musical references that are scattered as discrete soundtrack.

Each chapter heading, a clock beats out the hours. And a rigid frame and so common ... Murakami likes to insert in the urban reality classic touches of eccentricity, a great wave, both disturbing and poetic. A door between an open-world dreamlike and mysterious.

I find the choice of the French title (After Dark for the original title) farsighted. The portion of the night evokes an inevitable slowness, and the coming of dawn still some ... And eternal surprise that lies beneath the veneer of ordinary things. Quick quick, I want to read another novel by Haruki Murakami!
