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.

##第一次讀英文版 且有不同譯者 盡管有幾篇以前讀過林少華版 但還是感覺很不一樣 啊 真希望自己能夠有閱讀原版的語言能力
評分##像小口小口地喝一杯威士忌那樣緩慢地把這本書讀完瞭,讀到最後仿佛都能感覺到杯子裏的冰塊開始融化。喜歡再襲麵包店,那個割草坪的故事和象的消失
評分##用英文讀感覺完全不一樣=___=
評分##Very intriguing!
評分##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.
