The elephant vanishes / Haruki Murakami - 1st ed. - New York : Vintage International , 1993 - 327 p. ; 21 cm.
The wind-up bird and Tuesday's women -- The second bakery attack -- The kangaroo communique -- On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning -- Sleep -- The fall of the Roman Empire, the 1881 Indian Uprising, Hitler's invasion of Poland, and the realm of raging winds -- Lederhosen -- Barn burning -- The little green monster -- Family affair -- A window -- TV people -- A slow boat to China -- The dancing dwarf -- The last lawn of the afternoon -- The silence -- The elephant vanishes.
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 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, in The Elephant Vanishes Murakami crosses the border between separate realities--and comes back bearing remarkable treasures
