具体描述
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.

##最感人的应该是同名短篇里大象和饲养员那种相依为命的感情。不过村上笔下的男女总有一种"我不懂爱我不幸福可是我也不难过我就这么活到老也没问题”的感觉，读起来真是难受
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##短评写不下，看下面的长评。
评分##封面換了。
评分##第一次读英文版 且有不同译者 尽管有几篇以前读过林少华版 但还是感觉很不一样 啊 真希望自己能够有阅读原版的语言能力
