With Open Arms

A Parisian novelist discovers the hard way that virtue-signaling has a footnote buried under the sofa. His televised vow to house the needy is hastily executed when Roma refugees answer the doorbell that same night. The next four days teach him that charity has a pet policy, and it’s called “no.”
