Note:
Check out Flavorwire's exclusive interview with Moore and Boldtype's review of A Gate at the Stairs.
It's been more than a decade since Lorrie Moore's Birds of America took flight in 1998, but Moore's trenchant, witty, and deeply wrought prose reemerges in her much-anticipated new novel, A Gate at the Stairs. Post 9-11 more in mood than content, Gate is a hilarious meta-commentary on grief and the strangeness of those closest to us. Tonight, the oft-described "writer's writer" discusses Gate with Victoria Lautman of WFMT's Writers on the Record.
