Today I want to introduce another Japanese book-
After Dark written by Haruki Murakami. Compared to Yoshimoto Banana, I read less
works of him. However, I strongly commend After Dark for its deep meaning. Its leading
role is a girl and the story happens between six hours. The chapters are separated
by the time.
At first, I couldn't understand this story very
much but the atmosphere attracted me. With experiences increasing, I can know this
story a little. In my opinion, this story gives me the thinking that when people
meet some problem we can’t solve it right now, we may escape or use passive attitude
toward it. I couldn't agree this idea in the past.Nevertheless, when I was in a similar
situation, I felt a sense of helplessness. At that moment, I found that I could
finally relate to the feelings the writer expressed.
I have to say Haruki Murakami’s works are often
passive and talk about the dark side of human. After reading them, we need some
time to smooth our emotion.
By the way, have you noticed that I always
introduce Asian books？ It is because
their books are often realistic. The west books sometimes are too romantic and ignore
the real life.
