Query: Disappointing

It has been a few years since I was unfortunate enough to find this novel on the shelf of a used bookstore. My recollection is clear on that it was dull and did not have any real "action" aside from a few pages, which was itself disappointing. The story involves a former President working on his memoirs of his time in office. It absolutely didn't work for me, I am sorry to say. I see that Barry Malzberg has been up for a Nebula Award as recently as 2009, so I am confident his other works are much better than this.
