Traymore Rooms, The

The Traymore Rooms: Montreal, an old walk-up building. Traymorean society: Eggy, war vet; Eleanor R (not Eleanor Roosevelt); Dubois, optimist; Moonface, waitress-cum-Latin-scholar and sexpot inexpert; our hero Calhoun; and, lately arrived, the embodiment of evil. Between them is the Traymorean strategy, a contest of ex-pats, to survive the second Bush administration and the America they dread.
