First Edition International Edition
Paperback. Condition: New. 327 pp. Octavo [20.5 cm]; illustrated wraps. 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 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. First Vintage International Edition (Later printing).

First edition of this classic collection of stories, one of which was the basis for the 2018 acclaimed film Burning. Octavo, original boards. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in the year of publication on the half-title page, "To Karen Haruki Murakami (in both Japanese and English) 5/6/93 Princeton, NJ." Additionally signed three times by jacket designer Chip Kidd, once on the front panel, above Murakami's signature and on the jacket rear panel. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Chip Kidd. Translated from the Japanese by Alfred Birnbaum and Jay Rubin. In these stories, a man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonaldâs 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, in The Elephant Vanishes Murakami crosses the border between separate realitiesâ"and comes back bearing remarkable treasures. âThese stories show us Japan as itâs 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. Murakamiâs stories, pinpoints of detail flash out . . . warm with life, hopelesslyâ"and wonderfullyâ"unstable" (The New York Times Book Review).
