A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

high hopes for this book given how much I love Lorrie Moore's short stories. it was pretty nice almost whimsical beginning and i somehow sailed through the middle, but it began losing me towards the end. I felt that the poetic breakout sections didn't marry well with the political allusions. though, Moore's typical sparse prose gave way to dramatic revelations stunning me out of the banal. generally.. it was an interesting insight into the post September 11 situation in America
