The economy was booming. People had more money than they knew what to do with. And then the earthquake struck. For the characters in After the Quake, the Kobe earthquake is an echo from a past they buried long ago. Satsuki has spent thirty years hating one man: a lover who destroyed her chances of having children. Did her desire for revenge cause the earthquake? Junpei's estranged parents live in Kobe. Should he contact them? Miyake left his family in Kobe to make midnight bonfires on a beach hundreds of miles away. Fourteen-year-old Sala has nightmares that the Earthquake Man is trying to stuff her inside a little box. Katagiri returns home to find a giant frog in his apartment on a mission to save Tokyo from a massive burrowing worm. 'When he gets angry, he causes earthquakes,' says Frog. 'And right now he is very, very angry'.
This new collection of stories, from one of the world's greatest living writers, dissects the violence beneath the surface of modern Japan.

评分##地震之后读《地震之后》。
评分##依旧最喜欢最后两个故事,村上为数不多的可爱的作品。
评分##看了看上次的标记,已经距离第一次读过去了快十年了。真是可怕。其实村上的短故事比他的长篇文学性要好。他长篇真的掌控不好符号的结构和故事的推进。倒是短篇最后的反转永远特别帅气。
评分##为了上课,又读了一遍

评分##有声书版~对前面这位朗读的仁兄很是喜欢~那个一边摇铃一边XX的那段实在是笑个半死~Superfrog那位学青蛙叫的实在是太像了,Honey Pie的bra game都很好玩,Sala可爱死了(这名字听着也很搞,沙拉?)就朗读来说绝对是五星~
评分##虽然写的故事不算幸福,但是整体给人感觉却很温暖。其实还是很上进的。
