具体描述
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. (20021018)

##还是很有意思的，闭上眼听书，脑中剧场比电影精彩百倍，真人动漫画风格随意切换，远景近景特写各种调度都随心所欲，太过瘾了。进入村上春树的奇幻世界，这种被empowered的感觉尤为强烈。
##超赞
##两位译者的风格真是截然不同，Alfred用词比较艰涩，Jay平实通俗。有点儿像中译本你死我活级别的林赖之分。读英文版的最大收获是会看得比较仔细，几乎要一字一句的读，不像看中文有些细节容易滑过去。至于小说本身，喜欢的篇目还是那几篇，不喜欢的也一样，没有因为语言的不同而有什么改变。
