"Children of prominent families, who failed at becoming somebodies but could not lose their literary desires, now posing as writers; rentiers trying very hard to erase their inheritor images by sticking to the bohemian life and therefore sucking up to the hoi polloi in art; old actors and actresses from cinema and theater looking for comfort and their wasted dreams in alcohol; forgotten literary figures; opportunistic journalists; washed-up movie stars; regular slackers; officers of lower rank from embassies; part-time Casanovas; lazy orientalists who misinterpret this whole gathering as exoticism; foreign intellectuals feeding on eastern hospitality and western admiration; middle-aged coquettes; members of foreign media engaged in incomprehensible affairs; and well-educated gays...

Is that all? No..."
