Haruki Murakami's novel 'After Dark' takes place between reality and dream. A series of characters grapple with their little deep dark secrets and worries. They are all running away from some problem or the other. They all seek comfort in the hours after dark. They find peace at night in different ways. Each one is in their little island of loneliness. Alienated. Far away from the people in their lives.
Murakami's 'After the Quake' also dealt with people who were struggling with the effects of the Kobe earthquake and how they each felt alienated and troubled in their own ways. His novels are simple, too simple, but deep and almost morbid.
