具体描述
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.

##不是很好。
##虽然写的故事不算幸福，但是整体给人感觉却很温暖。其实还是很上进的。
##为了上课，又读了一遍
##All god's children can dance.
##重读发现每个故事都留给我很深印象。拯救世界的青蛙君，他们拆主教的时候你为什么没有来。Nimit说"If you put your feelings into words they will turn into lies." 在一个完美的故事里 暂时取代你位置的人有一天一定会消失。
