His best one yet. If you like that kind of thing. Don't know? Try the first few paragraphs...
Susan Colgate sat with her agent, Adam Norwitz, on the rocky outdoor patio of the Ivy restaurant at the edge of Beverly Hills. Susan was slightly chilly and kepy a fawn-colored cashmere sweater wrapped around her shoulders as she snuck bread crumbs to the birds darting about the ground. Her face was flawlessly made up and her hair was cut in the style of the era. She was a woman on a magazine cover, glazing out at the checkout-stand shopper, smiling, but locked in time and space, away from the real world of squalling babies, bank cards and causual shoplifting.
Susan and Adam were looking at two men across the busy restaurant. Adam was saying to Susan, "You see that guy on the left? That's 'Jerr-Bear' Rogers, snack dealer to the stars and the human equivalent of an unflushed toilet."
"Adam!"
"Well, it's true." Adam broke open a focaccia slice. "Oh God, Sooz, they're looking at us."
Lovely.
