I just read this review of the work of Lorrie Moore, and A Gate at the Stairs in particular. It refers to the themes of direct/indirect experience and mentions E.M. Forster.
(content warning: the article mentions some stuff that may be NSFW if someone is shoulder surfing, and the article is from a political publication with viewpoints that may chafe some MR members)
