Surveillance by Jonathan Raban

I became interested in this after hearing Raban on a segment of Christopher Lydon's Open Source radio program. This is not, as it claims to be, a novel; it's more of a sketch of American post-9/11 paranoia in a country where everybody's watching somebody, and being watched. It's interesting, and I found myself giving it the benefit of the doubt... right up to the last couple of pages, where Raban gives us a stagey non-ending. I can't say it was a waste of time, but I am glad I got it from the library instead of buying it.
