After Dark really focuses on the passage of time and how the city the characters move and operate during the quiet hours of deep night/early morning. There are good, bad and neutral aspects just as there are good, bad and neutral people that operate in that time span. None of their stories have resolution and they aren't supposed to. After all, it's only the passage of one night in a very busy city.
Overall, I found this enjoyable and enigmatic. It's one of the things I've always enjoyed about Murakami's work.
Moderate: Physical abuse, Trafficking, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Sexual content, Sexual violence, and Trafficking
