Description

 							
  
  These eleven
stories, along with a masterful novella, mark the triumphant return of David Gates, whom New York magazine anointed
“a true heir to both Raymond Carver and John Cheever.”
  
  A Hand Reached Down to Guide Me is
populated by characters, young or old or neither, who are well educated, broadly knowledgeable, often creative and
variously accomplished, whether as a doctor or a composer, an academic or a journalist. And every one of them carries a
full supply of the human condition: parents in assisted-living—or assisted-dying—facilities, too many or
too few people in their families and marriages, the ties that bind a sometimes messy knot, age an implacable foe,
impulses pulling them away from comfort into distraction or catastrophe. Terrifyingly self-aware, they refuse to go
gently—even when they’re going nowhere fast, in settings that range across the metropolitan and suburban
Northeast to the countryside of upstate New York and New England. 
  
  Relentlessly inventive, alternately
hilarious and tragic, always moving, this book proves yet again that Gates is one of our most talented, witty and
emotionally intelligent writers.
  
  PRAISE
  “The collection is really good [but]
I’m surprised more isn’t made of his comic talents. There’s a caustic wit at work on nearly every
page; empathy and misanthropy match stride for stride in a way that recalls Cheever at his best. In
‘Banishment’—a previously unpublished novellas about a spectacularly bad marriage—it
sometimes seems there’s an act of casual betrayal on every page, each designed to puncture another set of social
mores.” —Dan Piepenbring, The Paris Review
  
  “Gates [has] staked out a territory, the
anxieties of a particular corner of the middle class: artsy, at one time hip or (even slightly) radical, aspirational
[in] creativity or spirit. That these aspirations have crumbled is part of the point, as his characters reckon with the
compromises, physical and emotional, that living brings [as well as] the tension between the profane and the sacred,
between the height of our ambitions and the depths of our desires. . . .These [stories] capture a floating
insubstantiality we can’t help but recognize because it also belongs to us.” —David L. Uhlin, The
Los Angeles Times
  
  “Malice and goodness duke it out in the dark hearts of David Gates’s
characters. . . . [He] isn’t one to pass judgments. He just sends devastatingly original dispatches from the
heart of darkness. . . . It broadens the spectrum of truthfulness and emotion for which he is known [and] captures both
the unfettered love and flashes of rage.” — Janet Maslin, The New York Times
  
 
“Deliciously wicked… The naughty musings most of us choose to ignore compel Gates’s characters to
act. . . . These people mock their demons and, when called to account, exhibit such complexity, humor and intelligence
that you’ll savor every page.” —Kristy Davis, More magazine
  
  “Where has David
Gates been all of my life? How is it that I’ve missed a writer who transforms all our failures and foibles into
tales so gripping they read like great mystery novels? A Hand Reached Down To Guide Me is as unflinching as fiction
gets, one of those books that feels like a discovery from the first page to the last.” —Adam Ross
