When a man's favourite elephant vanishes, the balance of his whole life is subtly upset; a couple's midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald's; a woman finds she is irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden; an insomniac wife wakes up to a twilight world of semi-consciousness in which anything seems possible - even death. In every one of the stories that make up The Elephant Vanishes, Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal. He has a deadpan genius for dislocating realities to uncover the surreal in the everyday, the extraordinary in the ordinary. (20021018)

评分##今晚把象的失蹤這一篇看了,還是感慨中英譯本讀起來的體驗相當懸殊。看到某篇評論說,消失之後該注重的問題不是why是where,我倒是覺得where也不重要,but what’s next?
评分##exceptional enthralling
评分##有读过其中几篇的中译版,重读英译果然感受大不同啊,少了丝氛围感但更清爽有力。喜欢喜欢。
评分##Three key elments in Haruki Murakami's novels: spaghetti, alcohol and sex.
评分##奇鸟贯串了N多短篇
评分正在看,和中文版的感觉很不一样,因为村上本身就受西方短篇小说家影响较大,以后还是看英译本。
评分##两位译者的风格真是截然不同,Alfred用词比较艰涩,Jay平实通俗。有点儿像中译本你死我活级别的林赖之分。读英文版的最大收获是会看得比较仔细,几乎要一字一句的读,不像看中文有些细节容易滑过去。至于小说本身,喜欢的篇目还是那几篇,不喜欢的也一样,没有因为语言的不同而有什么改变。
