칵테일 슈가

The sweet is only a prototype, a stick crusted with little chips of sugar in the shape of an exclamation mark, handed over with the advice to enjoy the sweetness and leave the serious questions alone. From one couple to the next it travels, from a woman to a wife, to a man in an indigo tie, a novelist's wife, the owner of a wine bar, a bank teller, and finally back to the woman it began with. They all share beds without ever melting into one another, and their affairs link up like falling dominoes into one long round dance. Cool and quick, the story follows the candy through the circle and makes fun of a world in which straying has become ordinary.
