Ray D. Shosay's Journal: Dispatches from a (Junior) Suite in Paris

Ray D. Shosay is a Hollywood screenwriter who is living--or hiding out--in the Hotel Georges V in Paris where he intersects with characters of all sorts and opines on the issues of our time. His journal is a window on his world. Ray D. Shosay, if said quickly, rhythms with "rez-de-chaussee," which means ground floor in French. The author describes Ray as an oblivious savant and in addition to serving as an extraordinary carnet d'adresses, Ray's journal offers commentary on movies, language trends, politics and anything else that comes to Mr. Shosay's attention in a manner that would be familiar to fans of Terry Southern.
