鎮上的大象消失了。欄杆沒有被破壞，大象的腳銬沒有被解開，但大象卻失去蹤影。沒有人知道是怎麼一回事。小說的敘述者在讀完報紙上的新聞後認為自己是大象最後的目擊者，他甚至親眼目睹了牠憑空消失的過程......
村上春樹在這本短篇集中展現一貫的風格，以穿梭於虛實間的文筆創造出趣味十足的動人故事，並再次展示他身為當代文學巨匠充滿想像力的天分及精練的敘事技巧。
In the tales that make up The Elephant Vanishes, the imaginative genius that has made Haruki Murakami an international superstar is on full display.
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.
Includes the story "Barn Burning," which is the basis for the major motion picture Burning.
