Ghostwritten (1999)
Creators: Liked The tales of nine very different characters in nine different cities that "don't end, [but] scarily morph and transmute into each other as we travel through them in the company of a crazed cult member, a corrupt lawyer, a Tokyo jazz aficionado, an art thief, a New York late-night DJ."--Booklist.

LikedI would say this is a baby Cloud Atlas this is Cloud Atlas with training wheels.
Mixedgenerally i thought it was fine i liked all the jazz references of course but other than that it just really wasn't doing it for me

Haruki MurakamiFrom the New York Times bestselling author—a gripping novel of late night encounters that’s “hypnotically eerie, sometimes even funny, but most of all … [a book] that keeps ratcheting up the suspense” (The Washington Post Book World).
Now with a new introduction by the author.
Nineteen-year-old Mari is waiting out the night in an anonymous Denny’s when she meets a young man who insists he knows her older sister, thus setting her on an odyssey through the sleeping city. In the space of a single night, the lives of a diverse cast of Tokyo residents—models, prostitutes, mobsters, and musicians—collide in a world suspended between fantasy and reality. Utterly enchanting and infused with surrealism, After Dark is a thrilling account of the magical hours separating midnight from dawn.
