...Elephant Vanishes, 2001 This collection of short stories, many packing the kookiness of Murakami's novels into less than 20 pages, was written over six years. Several stories in the book made their first appearances in magazines such as The New Yorker and Playboy. The title piece inspired a play that toured New York and London...
...prestigious Kafka Prize, dedicated to authors whose work "addresses the readers regardless of their origin, nationality and culture." It's difficult to imagine a better recipient than Murakami, who today splits his time between Tokyo and universities in the U.S. "The first [Murakami] story I translated for The New Yorker, they asked me to put in a Japanese reference at the top," says Philip Gabriel, a professor of East Asian studies at the University of Arizona.

Sometimes whole movies were tongue-in-cheek tributes to Bergman: George Coe and Tony Lover's 1968 American short De Duva (where "water" is the subtitle for the mock-Swedish "aitch-two-oh-ska") and the 1975 Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
