«Después del terremoto» is the collection of six short stories by Haruki Murakami, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Six stories inspired by the 1995 Kobe earthquake, which caused more than five thousand deaths, and set shortly after the catastrophe. A salesman abandoned by his wife, a runaway teenager, a chauffeur, an orphan, a bank employee and a blocked writer are the protagonists; the quake breaks into their lives in subtle or significant ways.
It belongs to the Andanzas collection from Tusquets, number 797, and the translation from Japanese is by Lourdes Porta Fuentes.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Japanese literature, especially those who appreciate stories where the everyday crosses paths with the unusual.
