유리방패 The Glass Shield by Kim JunghyukMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The book jacket says "The narrative devoid of the woman-lover axis evolves only around the male-friend axis. One might compare Kim Jung-hyuk's pals to the freemasons who have replaced Beatrice".
But I can't help wondering if this is in itself a mockery of the art critic in the story, giving all these serious intellectual traits to what is basically just fun and games.
Then again, there is obviously more to this (short) story, since in the end we realize that living carefree can't continue forever.
Regardless, this is a re-read and I enjoyed it more the second time around. 4.5 stars.
