The Elephant Vanishes is a book of short stories by my favorite author, Haruki Murakami. The book as a whole is excellent, but as it's just a collection of unrelated short stories, here I'll give a short review of each one.
'The Second Bakery Attack' was the first writing by Haruki Murakami that I ever read. Captain tsubasa show in english. I was looking up short stories on the web to try coming up with a short film idea, and I came across 'The Second Bakery Attack.' The familiar strangeness of it interested me, and I never realized it took place in Japan my first time reading it. When I bought The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle at Powell's, I didn't even realize that I had read anything by Murakami before. Reading it again, it doesn't strike me as more interesting or deep than some of the other stories in this book, but it is entertaining and just skims the surface of the seas of metaphor and strangeness found in his other work. It doesn't stand out among the other stories in this book, but it does in a crowd of stories by other authors.
'On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning' is five pages of beautiful, enchanting, poetic prose. I suggest reading it now: here's a link.

Although 'The Wind-Up Bird and Tuesday's Women' is now the first chapter in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, I can see other stories in The Elephant Vanishes that contributed to the novel that Murakami published two years later. 'TV People' tells a surreal story of a man whose wife leaves him, leaving him dazed and confused when he realizes she's gone. Which happens in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. 'Family Affair,' although a forgettable story, is on the topic of sibling and familial relations, which plays a prominent role in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
'Sleep'is a haunting, though-provoking story of a woman who suddenly doesn't need sleep anymore. I wish I didn't need to sleep; she has limitless energy, looks twenty years younger, and has a lot more time to spare, yet… it doesn't change the mundane routineness of her life. Some of Murakami best ponderings happen in this 26-page story, and I came away from it feeling suspicious of the activity I spend a third of my time doing. Doesn't everyone worry that they are being 'consumed by their tendencies and then sleeping to repair the damage' (99)? The ending is ambiguous; does she finally fall asleep? What's up with the guy pouring the water on her legs? I have a theory that she's been dead the whole time. Altogether it's one of the best stories in the book.
'The Dancing Dwarf' is a modern fairy tale, of the same ilk as the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen stories. Everything from the elephant factory to the maggot-and-pus-spewing woman is strangely enchanting. It's the type of bedtime story I'd want to read to my children. Sure, it would give kids nightmares, but so would half of the other fairy tales out there. This should be made into a picture book.

All the other stories in the book are interesting and enjoyable, too. I'm glad I decided to read the book straight through, not skipping any stories, because even though they're not narratively related, I think most of them are sort of thematically related. I think 'The Elephant Vanishes,' the last story in the book, illustrates Murakami's general structure well: the stories begin based firmly in realism, then slowly decay into the feeling that 'things around me have lost their proper balance, though it could be that my perceptions are playing tricks on me' (327). The protagonist of 'The Elephant Vanishes,' who could very well be the same character as the protagonists of many of the other stories in the books, ends up dazed and confused after experiencing the smashing of their division between fantasy and reality. He thinks 'It's probably something in me,' although Murakami's stories raise the possibility that it's not.
