About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A dizzying short-story collection that displays Murakami's genius for uncovering the surreal in the everyday, the extraordinary within the ordinary. Featuring the story 'Barn Burning', the inspiration behind the Palme d'Or-nominated film Burning.
When a man's favourite elephant vanishes, the balance of his whole life is subtly upset. A couple's midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald's. A woman finds she is irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden. An insomniac wife wakes up in a twilight world of semi-consciousness in which anything seems possible - even death.
In every one of these stories Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal.

Fabulous
Reminiscent of R A Lafferty in places, a nice collection of short stories in the usual mystical Haruki Murakami style. Well narrated, too. Very enjoyable.

So disappointing
I have always enjoyed reading Murakami, but ‘the elephant vanishes’ is utterly meaningless and boring. How can the author and publisher publish something like this. Is it greed? I will think twice before I read another Murakami!
