mizclaff 's review for:
A Gate at the Stairs
by Lorrie Moore
Oh, Lorrie Moore. What a disaster. I'm so disappointed. How could such a wonderful writer go so, so, so wrong?
I think we can all take something away from this clunky vehicle for every possible hot-button cultural concern of the past decade. Two things, actually:
1) If you feel compelled to write fiction that has anything remotely to do with 9/11, THINK VERY LONG AND HARD before you actually put pen to paper.
2) One ludicrous plot twist = shame on you. Two ludicrous plot twists = seriously, shame on you.
