«El elefante desaparece» is Haruki Murakami's collection of short stories, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
A man becomes obsessed with the disappearance of an elephant from the zoo, an unemployed lawyer looks for his wife's cat, and a newlywed couple robs a McDonald's. Everyday stories that Murakami turns into unsettling narratives, with characters waiting for an accident and a tone that alternates humour with the fantastic.
This edition belongs to the Maxi collection from Maxi-Tusquets; the text is translated from Japanese by Yoko Ogihara and Fernando Cordobés.
For readers of short stories, contemporary fiction and magical realism, especially those who want to approach Japanese narrative.
