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.

##读英文版就是个错误
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##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##酷暑难耐，村上笔下男女间的疏离与拧巴读来更是憋闷。也不打雷，也不下雨。

评分##Middle-class (usually middle-aged) people reflect upon misplaced desire. The several recurring names and symbols are interesting (e.x. Noboru Watanabe, elephant, people you met once but never cross paths again, etc.), which provide subtle links between the short stories.
