"The Bakery Again" is the fifth collection of short stories written by Haruki Murakami in 1985 and published in 1986. It includes six short stories: "The Bakery Again", "The Disappearance of the Elephant", "Family Affair", "Twin Girls and the Sunken Continent", "The Collapse of the Roman Empire, 1881 Indian Revolt, Hitler's Invasion of Poland and the Windy World", "The Wind-up Bird and the Tuesday Girls".
The work describes several people on the margins of mainstream society. The romance of youth and the impulse of youth are getting farther and farther away. After entering middle age, they have to face the trivial daily life and the burden of the world. The works in the book are closely related to long-form masterpieces such as "Pinball 1973", "The Journey of Strange Birds", and "The End of the World and Grim Wonderland". Among them, "The Attack on the Bakery Again" and "The Disappearance of the Elephant" are regarded as classics among Murakami's short stories.
Reader comments
The story of this book is so interesting! Haruki Murakami's imagination is really rich, his writing style is very unique, and each story is full of the interweaving of fantasy and reality. And his writing style is very concise, but it made me completely immersed in the story. Especially the two chapters "The Attack on the Bakery Again" and "The Disappearance of the Elephant" feel like entering a wonderful world. I really like this book!
"Attack on the Bakery Again" I really like this chapter. I was hungry in the middle of the night and robbed a bakery. But this time I went to a burger restaurant. I only wanted bread🍞, I paid the money💰, and I also wore a hood to rob. It was very interesting...
The attack on the bakery and the disappearance of the elephant were interesting, but I really didn't understand the rest.
A nice book
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
A story that has no beginning or end like many things in life. Perhaps human beings are just remnants of abstract consciousness.
