A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore
3.0

This was an original and compelling novel. Lorrie Moore writes in a way that is funny, fresh, and relevant. However, her narrative voice can feel a little pat after a while - witty, cynical, and pleased with itself only goes so far. I've only read stories by her in the past, and reading an entire novel got a little bit wearisome. But, overall, a good read.
