A couple's midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald's. A woman finds she is irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden. An insomniac wife wakes up in a twilight world of semi-consciousness in which anything seems possible - even death.   In every one of these stories Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44028871213275,"sku":"9780099448754-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780099448754-us-300_5b213d29-c71c-4825-8910-4e43b8cfa8cd.jpg?v=1679812757","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780099448754-secondhand-the-elephant-vanishes","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
