This powerful short novel was one of the two works of fiction that won Inoue the prestigious Akutagawa Prize. Set in the period after the Second World War, it relates the doomed love affair of Josuke, owner of the hunting gun, which is a symbol of his lonely, detached existence. Inoue describes the psychological impact of an illicit love affair that Josuke has, and the shattering impact it has for all around him.
