The story of Ray, a man without a country who makes New York in the 1960s his home.

By the time someone offers Ray a job as a doorman, he's already settled in, found a place for himself in New York City. The someone doing the offering is the landlady of 10 Park Avenue, a regular Tower of Babel that was once a major hotel. And that is where Ray spends the next fifty years of his life, in the heart of a city he never tires of walking around, watching things that could never happen anywhere else - reflections as they are of an unparalleled collective imagination.
