Summary
He’s a host, after all, and his job is to entertain, to pour drinks and light cigarettes and have semi-intelligent conversation, all while looking pretty enough for patrons to want to come back. His job is to pretend the words spilling from the tipsy salarymen’s mouths are the most profound he’s ever heard, to field complaints about distant wives or demanding bosses, to listen and nod and brush his hand against a knee, to assure them that he is at their service. He’s a salesman - they all are, really - in the business of selling themselves.
He doesn’t mind being more or less a product for consumption. He lives for it some nights, even. Others aren’t so lucky.
