Elephant Vanishes

Murakami is a master of the short story. Favorites include the strange and mythical story, 'The Dancing Dwarf' as well as the bizarre 'The Second Bakery Attack.' Classic slivers of Murakami prose delight and feel familiar like in 'The Last Lawn of the Afternoon' and 'Barn Burning.' It also features the beginning piece of my favorite book of his, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, in an isolated form. This is a book of stories that I like to pick up from time to time and read a story or two, a collection I took my time with.

Anyone who has a best friend should read this book. It is an incredible story, deftly crafted, and incredibly memorable. If you have interest in strong, smart, female characters, historical world-building and clever writing, you are in for the delight of your life. It is one of my new most favorite books, and I recommend it to anyone.
