Haruki Murakami Additional Author mixed material bibliography Vintage 1993

Book - Paperback

327 With the same deadpan mania and genius for dislocation that he brought to his internationally acclaimed novels A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami makes this collection of stories a determined assault on the normal. A man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonald's in the middle of the night; and a young woman discovers that she has become irresistible to a little green monster who burrows up through her backyard. By turns haunting and hilarious, The Elephant Vanishes is further proof of Murakami's ability to cross the border between separate realities -- and to come back bearing treasure. Author Haruki Murakami was born on January 12, 1949 in Kyoto, Japan, and most of his youth was spent in Kobe. Murakami's parents both taught Japanese literature. Murakami studied at Tokyo's Waseda Uni UK 99448750 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) F MUR Ele 5263 C2O library & collabtive (Fiction & Literature) 8000 elephantvanishes.jpg 5138 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
