Chez Jim is Jim Chevallier's Web site. If it is difficult to define, well so, say some, is Jim.

The two largest groups of visitors to this site typically come for the free original monologues and the film finance information. Some are also drawn by bits of information on figures such as Tim Leary, the Beatniks and Louise Nevelson. But since its earliest incarnation in 1996, the site has also included genealogy information, looks at Paris and samples of fiction and poetry. In subsequent years, it has grown to reflect new interests, including self-publication of several books, further travel (cross-country, up to Northern California and to Saigon, among other places) and the 18th century in France (including information on the Bastille and a number of 18th century recipes).

NOTE: Many of the page formats reflect the changes in the site over the years, and its generally eclectic nature. To thine own selves be true...
