A review by brynebo
A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

2.0

Since discovering Lorrie Moore is a local author and professor at the UW several years ago, I have been meaning to pick up one of her books. None of them have really interested me until reading the review for her newest novel, A Gate at the Stairs. I promptly got on the waiting list at the library and received the book several weeks later. What a disappointment. I've decided I really don't like her writing style and the story failed to keep my interest (I am certain due to its presentation, as I actually thought the topic itself quite interesting). There were a few parts I genuinely enjoyed, but overall this one was a bust.
