But it was also becoming a place where both life's consolations and its necessities were increasingly going to the highest bidder. \u003ci\u003eAt the Strangers' Gate\u003c\/i\u003e is a vivid portrait of this time, told through the story of one couple's journey--from their excited arrival as aspiring artists to their eventual growth into a New York family. Through a series of comic mini-anthropologies that capture the fashion, publishing, and art worlds of the era, Adam Gopnik transports us from his tiny basement room on the Upper East Side to a SoHo loft, from his time as a graduate student-cum-library-clerk to the galleries of MoMA. Filled with tender and humorous reminiscences--including affectionate reflections on Richard Avedon, Robert Hughes, and Jeff Koons, among many others--\u003ci\u003eAt the Strangers' Gate\u003c\/i\u003e is an ode to New York striving.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Gopnik has been writing for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e since 1986.
