The Longer We Were There by Steven Moore
Follows a part-time soldier's experience over seven years in the Iowa Army National Guard. He bounces between college, army training, disaster relief, civilian jobs, and deployment in Afghanistan. His stories are about having one foot on each side of the civilian-military divide, and the difficulty of describing one side to those on the other.-

Study in Perfect
Steven Moore’s stunning debut. . .Moore’s narrative deftly weaves his deployment experiences in Afghanistan with commentary from great critical minds like Joan Didion, Maggie Nelson, Tim O’Brien, and Tobias Wolff in an attempt to tell the sprawling story of the war in Afghanistan from the perspective of a part-time soldier.
* New Books Network *Captures with honesty, precision, and humor, the bizarre, often liminal space National Guard soldiers occupy as civilians and soldiers. . . . Moore shatters stereotypical soldier portrayals with his attention to detail and his eye for particulars.
* Brevity *STEVEN MOORE was born and raised in southeast Iowa and served seven years in the Iowa National Guard. His essays have appeared or are forthcoming in the Kenyon Review online, the Georgia Review, North American Review, Ninth Letter, and BOAAT, among other publications.
