He was a shy, bookish, asthmatic boy keenly aware of social inferiority yet determined to make his intellectual way. \u003ci\u003eThe Gatekeeper\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312316136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.92h x 5.12w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/13\/2003 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Terry Eagleton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635829141660,"sku":"9780312316136","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_eb0fdd43-d698-4dc3-bc89-08b06fe82bab.jpg?v=1603840643","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gatekeeper-a-memoir-9780312316136","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
