Description

A dizzying short story collection from Haruki Murakami, this book displays his genius for uncovering the surreal in everyday life. In stories that blur the lines between reality and fantasy, Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal. When a man's favourite elephant vanishes, the balance of his whole life is subtly upset. Other tales explore the strange and the ordinary: a couple's midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald's, while a woman finds herself irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden. In these stories, Murakami probes the boundaries between dreams and waking life. With its unique blend of the bizarre and the mundane, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the strange side of human experience.
