内容简介
· · · · · ·
The economy was booming. People had more money than they knew what to do with. And then the earthquake struck. For the characters in After the Quake, the Kobe earthquake is an echo from a past they buried long ago. Satsuki has spent thirty years hating one man: a lover who destroyed her chances of having children. Did her desire for revenge cause the earthquake? Junpei’s estranged parents live in Kobe. Should he contact them? Miyake left his family in Kobe to make midnight bonfires on a beach hundreds of miles away. Fourteen-year-old Sala has nightmares that the Earthquake Man is trying to stuff her inside a little box. Katagiri returns home to find a giant frog in his apartment on a mission to save Tokyo from a massive burrowing worm. ‘When he gets angry, he causes earthquakes,’ says Frog. ‘And right now he is very, very angry’.
This new collection of stories, from one of the world’s greatest living writers, dissects the violence beneath the surface of modern Japan.

评论 ······
看了看上次的标记，已经距离第一次读过去了快十年了。真是可怕。其实村上的短故事比他的长篇文学性要好。他长篇真的掌控不好符号的结构和故事的推进。倒是短篇最后的反转永远特别帅气。
I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.
村上的after the quake里六篇short story，两篇发在纽约客，发在格兰塔杂志的Thailand不知道为什么觉得很是特别，但最喜欢的还是那篇发在GQ的青蛙君拯救东京。跑步时一直在想super frog saves tokyo这个短故事。之所以喜欢这只青蛙，不仅因为他引用尼采和陀斯妥耶夫斯基，更因为它慈悲。当katagiri这个四十岁的loser说自己只是eat，sleep，shi…
不是很好。
