Abstract

First novel after winning the Naoki Prize!
A collection of six stories that delicately depict adult love that has crossed paths.

”You Don't Know” ...... Before my fiancée, who loves me ‘properly’, comes home, I force myself away from Asano-san and take a taxi home at dawn. I've never experienced in my life that I just want ‘this person’ so badly.

”Only I don't know.”...... Hitomi, whom I see once or twice a month, has a man at home. When I'm in front of her, who would never hurt me, who only laughs gently, I stop to think about how gentle women can be with cheaters.

Other works in the collection include ”Footprints", "Snake Cat Strange Tales", "On an Ice Night" and "The Name of Your Mistress is...".
