...next congressional election, a small group of congressmen are feeling a particular pang: Should they honor the pledge they made in 1994, in conjunction with the failed term-limit plank of the Contract with America, to quietly exit in 2000?

I see the lack of substantial plot in Winterson's writing less as a flaw in her abilities as raconteur and more as her attempt to defy the genre of short...
