Gate at the Stairs

With America quietly gearing up for war in the Middle East, twenty-year-old Tassie Keltjin, a 'half-Jewish' farmer's daughter from the plains of the Midwest, has come to university, escaping her provincial home to encounter the complex world of culture and politics.

Cu America pregatindu-se in liniste pentru razboi in Orientul Mijlociu, Tassie Keltjin, in varsta de douazeci de ani, fiica de fermier „pe jumatate evreiasca” din campiile Midwest-ului, a venit la universitate, evadand din casa sa provinciala pentru a intalni lumea complexa a cultura si politica.
