The six stories in Haruki Murakami’s mesmerizing collection are set at the time of the catastrophic 1995 Kobe earthquake, when Japan became brutally aware of the fragility of its daily existence. But the upheavals that afflict Murakami’s characters are even deeper and more mysterious, emanating from a place where the human meets the inhuman.

An electronics salesman who has been abruptly deserted by his wife agrees to deliver an enigmatic package—and is rewarded with a glimpse of his true nature. A man who has been raised to view himself as the son of God pursues a stranger who may or may not be his human father. A mild-mannered collection agent receives a visit from a giant talking frog who enlists his help in saving Tokyo from destruction. As haunting as dreams, as potent as oracles, the stories in After the Quake are further proof that Murakami is one of the most visionary writers at work today.

用户评价

Thiland有禅意，honey pie很温馨。村上春树告诉我，灾难之后，人们怎样试图去填满内心巨大的空洞。或流放自己，或渴望毁灭，或跳舞，或旅行，或拯救世界，或是表白心意。再次坚信，汉字，中国的或日本的，有其魔力，象形，可自由组合，音韵丰富。

冷静克制的文字 好舒服

a great introduction to Haruki Murakami

浓汤宝。

村上从早年的疏远人群到此书的重新拥抱人群，这其中的变化挺有意思的。
