«El elefante desaparece» is a collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Ordinary people star in these stories: a man obsessed with the disappearance of a zoo elephant, an unemployed lawyer looking for his wife's cat, and a newlywed couple who rob a McDonald's. Murakami blends daily life with the fantastic and turns the trivial into unsettling and amusing fictions.
This edition was published in 2016 in the Andanzas collection. The translation from Japanese is by Yoko Ogihara and Fernando Cordobés.
Aimed at the general public who enjoys short works of contemporary fiction, with touches of magical realism.
