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.

評分##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.
評分##《神的孩子都跳舞》。從小說奇異的描述中我們看到災難對日本人的影響:因為災難一切都變得不可預測,所以享樂主義也無可厚非。災難創造一個突破口,從前深藏在心底不敢錶述的,在目睹瞭生命的脆弱之後,也倒坦然麵對、渲泄、轉摺瞭。而災難有時又是有積極意義的,使在金錢欲望驅使下變得分裂自私的社會人重新聚集起來、發現彼此的存在,共同努力。雖然這樣的聚集是短暫的,而人的記憶也那麼脆弱與模糊。
評分村上的after the quake裏六篇short story,兩篇發在紐約客,發在格蘭塔雜誌的Thailand不知道為什麼覺得很是特彆,但最喜歡的還是那篇發在GQ的青蛙君拯救東京。跑步時一直在想super frog saves tokyo這個短故事。之所以喜歡這隻青蛙,不僅因為他引用尼采和陀斯妥耶夫斯基,更因為它慈悲。當katagiri這個四十歲的loser說自己隻是eat,sleep,shit時,青蛙君說瞭讓人感動的話:整個東京隻有你纔能幫我,我就是要拯救像你這樣的人。這大緻是蛋與牆的主題瞭。即便覺得自己活得豬狗不如、瞭無生趣、一生也就這樣瞭,青蛙還是惦記著你,拼死也要拯救你,即便你從來不知道有這樣一隻青蛙拯救瞭世界。
評分##真的是就怕貨比貨,同時在讀科塔薩爾,都是爵士愛好者,差距咋就這麼大呢,當然這本即使比村上自己的《盲女睡柳》那個集子也是差瞭一大截 太多刻意經營的成分 不過有幾篇的中心意象還是不錯的,比如搖鈴做愛(躲熊),海邊燃起的篝火,月下起舞,夢見可以祛除心魔的蛇,最後兩篇彆人說好,我反而無感
