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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Eagleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\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\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312316136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/13\/2003 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerry Eagleton\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of, among other books, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Theory\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About the Irish\u003c\/i\u003e.
