Sinossi
In un giorno d'estate soffocante, un avvocato si mette alla ricerca del suo gatto e in un giardino abbandonato dietro casa incontra una strana ragazza. Una giovane coppia decide di fare uno spuntino notturno e assalta un McDonald's per avere trenta Big Mac, realizzando così un segreto desiderio adolescenziale del marito. Nel racconto che da il titolo al libro, un uomo è ossessionato dalla incredibile, misteriosa scomparsa di un elefante dallo zoo del paese. E poi ancora una curiosa digressione sui canguri, un uomo che incendia granai per il gusto di vederli bruciare e le introspezioni di una giovane madre afflitta da insonnia.

You too can write like Murakami. Just remember these simple rules - 1) Think of something weird. Multiply the weirdness by 10. I haven't slept for last 16 nights and 17days. Today is the 17th night. I couldn't sleep. I tried. But failed. I typed in Google Search "Insomnia". It took me to the Christop Leggi tutto
Seventeen short stories by the Japanese master. With titles like 'Lederhosen', The Dancing Dwarf' and 'Sleep' there are some truly wonderful tales here, and each of them has 'deeper' meanings and open up emotive issues by way of their characters and plots. My personal favourite is 'Silence' where a

apathetic Every protagonist in Murakami's books (though, I've only read this and 'Norwegian Wood') are apathetic. They just float through their lives, never really caring about what is happening, or if there is anything they can do to fix it. I think to some readers this could be quite tedious, but th Leggi tutto
Many great stories and some of them are hard to digest. I may read it again next time. Overall, I enjoyed reading the story " A slow boat to China".
Siempre me cuesta tomar el impulso de empezar a leer libros de relatos, porque me cuesta mucho luego evaluar su conjunto. E incluso tratándose de Murakami, que es mi autor favorito, suelo tardar mucho más en leer sus colecciones, que sus novelas o ensayos. Además, una cosa que me ha descolocado a mi Leggi tutto
هاروكى الوحيد الذى انهى قصصه و يتركنى فى حالة من التشتت , قدرته العجيبة على جعل القارئ يذهب بخياله لتفسيرات غريبة و عوالم عجيبة , تجد نفسك تحاول ان تفهم المغزى من قصصه و الرمزيات التى بين السطور و التفسيرات الممكنة ف تذهب لفكرة معينة تستحوذ عليك , ف تعتقد انك كسبت الرهان و فهمت مغزى القصة و تبدا فى Leggi tutto
Not only was the book amazing (I truly believe he can do no wrong), but one of my best friends and I saw an actual play of it several years ago at Lincoln Center. We had seats in the very front row . The play (as required, I'm sure) was balls-out crazy, all in Japanese, with a ticker doing subtitles Leggi tutto
