Synopsis
Tassie Keltjin, an unprepossessing daughter of Midwest potato farmers, move to an exciting college town to study literature, and winds up working as a nanny for a glamorous restaurateur who has recently adopted a child. A GATE AT THE STAIRS marks the long-anticipated return of Lorrie Moore, regarded as a master of the short-story form, and one of the finest writers of off-kilter observations, sly wordplay, and rueful half-devastating half-hilarious remarks. All these qualities are on full display in this moving novel of a young woman adrift in the confusion of America and her own sense of self.

Publisher's Note
A latest work by the PEN/Malamud-winning author of Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? is set on a small midwestern farm just after the September 11 attacks and finds a twenty-year-old woman coming of age amid such challenges as racism, the War on Terror, and cruelty in the name of love.

Industry reviews
"Moore serves up disorder and disaster but also humor and a feast of recurring themes--the way people use language; the changing of the seasons; food....The unique vision and exquisite writing cast a spell." (starred review)
 (07/01/2009)

"Moore's graceful prose considers serious emotional and political issues with low-key clarity and poignancy, while generous flashes of wit...endow this stellar novel with great heart." (starred review)
 (07/13/2009)

"Ms. Moore has written her most powerful book yet....[I]n this haunting novel Ms. Moore gives us stark, melancholy glimpses into her characters' hearts, mapping their fears and disappointments, their hidden yearnings and their more evanescent efforts to hold on to their dreams in the face of unfurling misfortune."
 (08/27/2009)

"A GATE AT THE STAIRS has the power to make you laugh and cry, sometimes almost simultaneously, and its wonderful, heartbreaking conclusion reminds us that no matter how we suffer, we still can reach a peculiarly human state of grace."
 (08/30/2009)

"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....Great writers usually present us with mysteries, but the mystery Lorrie Moore presents consists of appearing genial, joshing, and earnest at once--unmysterious, in other words, yet still great....On finishing A GATE AT THE STAIRS I turned to the reader nearest to me and made her swear to read it immediately...."
