These are beautifully written stories, often funny, always moving."--Chicago Tribune With the same deadpan mania and genius for dislocation that he brought to his internationally acclaimed novels A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami makes this collection of stories a determined assault on the normal. A man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonald's in the middle of the night; and a young woman discovers that she has become irresistible to a little green monster who burrows up through her backyard. By turns haunting and hilarious, The Elephant Vanishes is further proof of Murakami's ability to cross the border between separate realities -- and to come back bearing treasure.

##比起村上的长篇 更喜欢他的短篇 他的other world是很能让人为之感动的 英文翻译的非常美 读到最后一页鸡皮疙瘩都起来了 i feel me i feel自己有时是消失的饲养员 有时是消失的大象
评分 评分##现代社会的孤独及畅想,表达困难症,致敬雷蒙卡佛
评分 评分##A mixture of postmodern allegories with dirty realism. Jay Robin sucks the marrow out of Murakami, rendering the collection a shining quality found in Raymond Carver's stories. Good job.
评分##It was a dream. I could wake up anytime.
评分##像小口小口地喝一杯威士忌那样缓慢地把这本书读完了,读到最后仿佛都能感觉到杯子里的冰块开始融化。喜欢再袭面包店,那个割草坪的故事和象的消失
评分##酷暑难耐,村上笔下男女间的疏离与拧巴读来更是憋闷。也不打雷,也不下雨。
评分##现代社会的孤独及畅想,表达困难症,致敬雷蒙卡佛
