Contributor Bio:  Mitchell, Stephen Stephen Mitchell is a filmmaker, writer, Ferrari enthusiast (he owned a Ferrari GTO that is today worth $40M) and satirist who has created an entertaining and endearing character in Ray D. Shosay. Stephen Mitchell's previous book, Ignorance is Bliss, was described as America's answer to Martin Amis. It took us into the myopic and inebriated world of Martin Bliss, a senior Senator and an important figure on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who inadvertently changed the equilibrium of the world in between rounds of golf and wondering why the police were investigating him for the disappearance of his wife.
