'A remarkable writer - he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head' Jay McInerney

When a man's favourite elephant vanishes, the balance of his whole life is subtly upset; a couple's midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald's; a woman finds she is irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden; an insomniac wife wakes up to a twilight world of semi-consciousness in which anything seems possible - even death. In every one of the stories that make up The Elephant Vanishes, Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal. He has a deadpan genius for dislocating realities to uncover the surreal in the everyday, the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Confuso e esquisito

Eu sou muito cadelinha do Murakami, mas The Elephant Vanishes... misericórdia, apesar de ter alguns contos engraçadinhos, tem muito conto ruim
