Lorrie Moore’s third novel, A Gate At The Stairs, begins on a college campus eerily similar to UW-Madison, where the New York native currently works as an English professor. There, an undergrad named Tassie lives on a street eerily similar to Breese Terrace, and works as a nanny for the adopted child of a woman who owns a restaurant eerily similar to L’Etoile. The story eventually winds its way to the Middle East, and book’s release date—days before Sept. 11—was no coincidence. Here, Moore visits close to home to read from A Gate At The Stairs.
