He was a shy, bookish, asthmatic boy keenly aware of social inferiority yet determined to make his intellectual way. The Gatekeeper mixes the soberly serious with the downright hilarious, skewer-sharp satire with unashamed fondness, the personal with the political. Most of it all it reveals a young man learning to reconcile oppositions: a double-edged portrait of the intellectual as a young man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525120393504,"sku":"NEW0312316135","price":11.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61t-xLByZGL_9b3ff1b1-a6ca-404a-8cec-0a8a89025dd2.jpg?v=1777141232","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-gatekeeper-a-memoir-0312316135","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
