Review:
These are beautifully written stories, often funny, always moving. Chicago Tribune
Eerie, unsettling. . . . [A] wonderful combination of the bizarre and the mundane. Village Voice Literary Supplement
Charming, humorous and frequently puzzling . . . The Elephant Vanishes [is] fun to read. The New York Times
These stories show us Japan as it s experienced from the inside. . . . [They] take place in parallel worlds not so much remote from ordinary life as hidden within its surfaces. . . . Even in the slipperiest of Mr. Murakami s stories, pinpoints of detail flash out . . . warm with life, hopelessly and wonderfully unstable. The New York Times Book Review
A stunning writer at work in an era of international literature. Newsday
Enchanting intriguing all of these tales have a wonderfully surreal quality and a hip, witty tone. Mr. Murakami has pulled off a tricky feat, writing stories about people who are bored but never boring. He left me lying awake at night, hungry for more. Wall Street Journal
The Elephant Vanishes, through [its] bold originality and charming surrealism, should win the author new readers in this country. Detroit Free Press"
