The Geneticist

From Riga, Vladivostok, Lake Baikal — 'He is in love with twins. He is having an affair with both of them, with Paul and with Ruth. They are amused by his overexcitement about the double helix and by his perversity regarding the electrifying of bulls.

'One evening he decided to take a short-cut to Ruth's house through the pine woods located on the east hill. As he came out of the woods he was confronted with an image that he cannot forget. Paul was riding the white bull, bent over and whispering in the ear of the animal. Ruth had wrapped her arms and legs around Paul, her black hair intertwined with purple grapes that stained her skin and that of the white bull. Her breasts were pressed hard and close to the back of Paul. Both were naked.'
