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.
##村上春樹的短篇小說是憑意像取勝的,像詩歌裏的意像一樣新穎,準確,例如《UFO》裏空空的包裹,《Super frog》裏的無私無畏的大青蛙,《Thailand》裏長在身體裏的石頭(如果你有秘密,身體就會有石頭)《landscape with Flatiron》裏的bonefire,想到這個意像小說已經成功一半瞭。閱讀村上春樹的短篇小說非常愉快,所以通常讀完沉重的書就讀一本。
評分##I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
評分##so they wake up living chaos as still
評分##看瞭看上次的標記,已經距離第一次讀過去瞭快十年瞭。真是可怕。其實村上的短故事比他的長篇文學性要好。他長篇真的掌控不好符號的結構和故事的推進。倒是短篇最後的反轉永遠特彆帥氣。
評分##真的是就怕貨比貨,同時在讀科塔薩爾,都是爵士愛好者,差距咋就這麼大呢,當然這本即使比村上自己的《盲女睡柳》那個集子也是差瞭一大截 太多刻意經營的成分 不過有幾篇的中心意象還是不錯的,比如搖鈴做愛(躲熊),海邊燃起的篝火,月下起舞,夢見可以祛除心魔的蛇,最後兩篇彆人說好,我反而無感
評分##不是很好。
評分##雖然寫的故事不算幸福,但是整體給人感覺卻很溫暖。其實還是很上進的。

評分##依舊最喜歡最後兩個故事,村上為數不多的可愛的作品。
