Review
'A GATE AT THE STAIRS is hilarious and distressing, entertaining and wise, and further proof that Lorrie Moore is one of the very best American writers working today. I wish she was Irish.' Roddy Doyle --Roddy Doyle
'Moore may be, exactly, the most irresistible contemporary American writer; brainy, humane, unpretentious and warm; seemingly effortlessly lyrical, Lily-Tomlin funny. Most of all, Moore is capable of enlisting not just our sympathies but our sorrows.' Jonathan Lethem, New York Times Book Review --New York Times Book Review, Jonthan Lethem
`Just a page into STAIRS and it's clear the wait was worth it ... Tassie is achingly real, and thanks to Moore's nimble prose, an unbeatable guide through the thicket of early adulthood.' PEOPLE
--People

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. With America quietly gearing up for war in the Middle East, twenty-year-old Tassie Keltjin, a 'half-Jewish' farmer's daughter from the plains of the Midwest, has come to university - escaping her provincial home to encounter the complex world of culture and politics. When she takes a job as a part-time nanny to a couple who seem at once mysterious and glamorous, Tassie is drawn into the life of their newly-adopted child and increasingly complicated household. As her past becomes increasingly alien to her - her parents seem older when she visits; her disillusioned brother ever more fixed on joining the military - Tassie finds herself becoming a stranger to herself. As the year unfolds, love leads her to new and formative experiences - but it is then that the past and the future burst forth in dramatic and shocking ways. Refracted through the eyes of this memorable narrator, A Gate at the Stairs is a lyrical, beguiling and wise novel of our times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001486835
