I guess the problem might be the signature of the callback you are supplying to data.parse (you are missing the fields argument).
Check it yourself by looking to the examples on multiparty docs

var data = new multiparty.Form();
var fs = require('fs');

export function create(req, res) {
    data.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
        var file = files.file;
        console.log(file);
        fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', function(err, contents) {
            console.log('content',contents);
        });
    });
};
