He currently resides in Northampton, Massachusetts, with his wife, the art historian Brigitte Buettner, and his daughter.

1990

1997

It was followed by a study of the postcolonial novel, After Empire: Scott, Naipaul, Rushdie (1997), and The Bells in Their Silence: Travels through Germany (2004), which grew out of a sabbatical year spent in that country.

2012

Gorra’s Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece (2012) is a critical biography that uses its commentary on James’s 1881 novel, The Portrait of a Lady, as a point of entry not only into James’s life but also into the literary culture of the late nineteenth century.

It was praised by Cynthia Ozick for presenting its subject with all “the sensuous immediacy of his quotidian reality: the rooms he lived in, the streets he trod, and the very texture of his inmost sensibility….

In Gorra's ingenious and capacious reading, James stands before us with a clarity of seeing and feeling given to no previous biographer.”

Portrait of a Novel was a finalist for the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award (Biography).

At Smith College, Gorra’s classes concentrate on fiction from the nineteenth century to the present day, including courses on the contemporary novel, Faulkner, and George Eliot’s Middlemarch.
