Expand description
An electronics salesman abruptly abandoned by his wife agrees to deliver an enigmatic package and is rewarded with a glimpse of his true nature. A man raised to think of himself as the son of God pursues a stranger who may or may not be his human father. A mild-mannered collection agent receives a visit from a giant talking frog who enlists his help in saving Tokyo. As haunting as dreams, as potent as oracles, the stories in After the Quake confirm Murakami's reputation as a genuinely visionary writer.
