“The bear is loose!” Guren has been saying, whenever he leaves the JIDA to visit Starbucks, or sandwich shops, or burger joints, or BBQ shacks, or neighborhood diners, in his increasingly rote and pathetic attempts to “connect” with “real people.” Guren, we have been told, is frustrated, “restless,” bored with the responsibilities and chores of office. He thinks of himself as the bear—intimidating, wild, untamed, roving—escaping his den. But he is flattering himself. Guren is not the bear. He is the cub: aimless, naïve, self-interested, self-indulgent, irresponsible, irresolute. The bear is in Moscow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Incredible plot twists, saltya and burrito-chan are real stars. 10/10 would read until mahirushaker eats me.” --- Suki.
