It seemed less substantial and a little too trite in its ending. I do like your review though...almost more than the book. :) I love Murakami but I didn’t like After Dark as much as his other books.

There is never a lack of perplexities or ever a reasonable resolution at the end. But you always know that everything will return to its original state. Thrilled to know that the new book is cinematic. For me, that has always been the main draw of good graphic novels. The reader effortlessly has the same perspective/viewpoint as the narrator. Murakami has an edge over them, with his excellent soundtrack. Interestingly that you compare him to Godard and the rest. Reading <em>After the Quake</em> left me with distinctly Kieslowski-esque impressions (from The Decalogue days). The music, frames and pacing are all very similar. Will have to wait for the book though (since I brilliantly put on-hold the Japanese original weeks back, instead of the English translation. Now resetting the clock and queuing up again on the right line). :( perplexities have been concealed, and things have returned to their original state
