The Hunting Gun

This novel is a complete story in itself and does not require reading any other books by Yasushi Inoue to understand its plot or characters.

The story unfolds through a unique epistolary structure, presenting the perspectives of three different women through their letters to the protagonist, which offers a multifaceted view of the central events.

A Japanese film adaptation of "The Hunting Gun" was released in 1961, the same year as the book's publication, and another adaptation was made in 2020.
