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.

評分##讀英文版就是個錯誤
評分故事都很好,適閤晚上靜靜地讀。
評分##Fav: A Slow Boat to China; Family Affair; A Window; Lederhosen
評分##It was a dream. I could wake up anytime.
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##用英文讀感覺完全不一樣=___=
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.
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
