The children's gate is an entry to Central Park that brings about the playground. Gopnik explores that entry in metaphor and experience as he recounts his family's return from Paris to New York-a seemingly secure, almost oddly child-friendly New York-in nov 2000. Gopnik describes not a city but an extended urban family, and a home charmed by the civilization of childhood. It's a charm that is simultaneously protect from, challenged by, and even shaped around the function that is soon to check out. By turns elegant and exultant, jubilant and poignant, THROUGHOUT THE CHILDREN'S GATE is a loving portrait of a family group and their city.
