Histoire
The 24 stories that make up Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman generously express the incomparable Haruki Murakami’s mastery of the form. Here are animated crows, a criminal monkey, and an ice man, as well as the dreams that shape us and the things for which we might wish. From the surreal to the mundane, these stories exhibit Murakami’s ability to transform the full range of human experience in ways that are instructive, surprising, and entertaining.

Histoire
Born in 1951 in an affluent Tokyo suburb, Hajime - beginning in Japanese - has arrived at middle age wanting for almost nothing. The postwar years have brought him a fine marriage, two daughters, and an enviable career as the proprietor of two jazz clubs. Yet a nagging sense of inauthenticity about his success threatens Hajime's happiness. And a boyhood memory of a wise, lonely girl named Shimamoto clouds his heart.

Histoire
Kafka Tamura runs away from home at 15, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The ageing Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. As their parallel odysseys unravel, cats converse with people, fish tumble from the sky, a ghost-like pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night, a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since World War II.

Description
With the same deadpan mania and genius for dislocation that he brought to his internationally acclaimed novels A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami makes this collection of stories a determined assault on the normal. 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, The Elephant Vanishes is further proof of Murakami's ability to cross the border between separate realities - and to come back bearing treasure.
Some of the stories in this collection originally appeared in the following publications: The Magazine (Mobil Corp.): "The Fall of the Roman Empire, the 1881 Indian Uprising, Hitler's Invasion of Poland, and the Realm of the Raging Winds" (in a previous translation; translated in this volume by Alfred Birnbaum), The New Yorker: "TV People" and "The Wind-up Bird and Tuesday's Women" (translated by Alfred Birnbaum), "The Elephant Vanishes", and "Sleep" (translated by Jay Rubin), and "Barn Burning" (in a previous translation; translated in this volume by Alfred Birnbaum) Playboy: "The Second Bakery Attack" (translated by Jay Rubin, January 1992).

dull
I'm not sure if this book was poorly translated.. but it is the dullest book in have ever read. Completely redundant and lacks originality. If I knew I could return an audible purchase I definitely would've sent this back.

Pretty bad
I don't know if its the bad narration here or what that makes this so entirely bad. There are multiple narrators and particularly there is this one guy who talks in this way where he sounds like a snooty pseudo-intellectual wearing a bow-tie or something. Reads it like he's talking to a child too. But also, I think this author might be SUPER OVER-RATED. You can't type 'surreal books' into a search engine without seeing his name. I feel like it lend to imitators that might saturate the market with really shallow prose. Reminds me when a person goes to art school and instead of thinking about their artwork and really contemplated it they pull that cheap hippie-dippy move of "I just get out the canvas and just let it flow through me, man". Well I tell you what that sounds more like the process of taking a shit than crafting a work of art to me. His style sounds like he's just making this stuff up on the spot. Not in any truely hypnotic or symbolic way that someone like Lewis Carroll might. It literally sounds like he sits down in a cafe or something and goes, "Okay time to get the ole' genius brain going. What do we write about today? hmm..." (Looks around) "Ah, Hamburger Steak... but it wasn't an ordinary hamburger steak noooo." Like, get out of here with that. Pssh.
