In response to Jim Harris, yes -- Denny's and 7-Eleven both exist in Japan... and in higher density than in the US at that.

I wonder how much the translation to English effects this stark little novel? It's very vivid and contemporary but has little to suggest Japanese culture. It's almost as if world culture has all melded together. It had more American pop culture than Japanese. Was the cultural specifics converted for American readers, or do people in Japan eat at Denny's and shop at 7-Eleven?

i have just finished reading 'after dark'. And again the author did what he does best, mesmerized me with his many scenes through the imagery of his words. Very dreamy :)

I wanted to read this one before I read your review and now I think I'll just have to get my copy ASAP. I haven't read anything else of his, although I have heard of him. I'm looking forward to it.
