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.

##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##比起村上的長篇 更喜歡他的短篇 他的other world是很能讓人為之感動的 英文翻譯的非常美 讀到最後一頁雞皮疙瘩都起來瞭 i feel me i feel自己有時是消失的飼養員 有時是消失的大象
評分##用英文讀感覺完全不一樣=___=
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##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.
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
評分故事都很好,適閤晚上靜靜地讀。
