Haruki Murakami - after the quake

Some of these are much better than others, but they do genuinely seem to fit together as a whole; tied together by the titular earthquake, yes, but also by a recurring sense of absence (absence being, incidentally the very fashion in which the earthquake itself is felt in the stories). I think last time my favourite was "Super-Frog Saves Tokyo"; this time, I was particularly touched by "Landscape with Flatiron".
