具體描述
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.

##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.
評分##用英文讀感覺完全不一樣=___=
評分##短評寫不下，看下麵的長評。
評分##酷暑難耐，村上筆下男女間的疏離與擰巴讀來更是憋悶。也不打雷，也不下雨。
評分##短評寫不下，看下麵的長評。
評分##Very intriguing!
評分##最感人的應該是同名短篇裏大象和飼養員那種相依為命的感情。不過村上筆下的男女總有一種"我不懂愛我不幸福可是我也不難過我就這麼活到老也沒問題”的感覺，讀起來真是難受
評分##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##Very intriguing!
