Wonderful Review of The Imagined Life in The New York Times Book Review!
Thrilled about this smart and generous review of The Imagined Life in The New York Times Book Review by Rand Richards Cooper!
“A fascinating portrait…Foremost among Porter’s 20th-century forebears might be Richard Yates… Like Yates, Porter writes in a style that is lucid and unadorned… He is less caustic than Yates, and more forgiving; generosity, rather than contempt, is the animating impulse… The Imagined Life [is] endowed with sympathy and propelled by the mystery behind the Mills family’s undoing. You want to find out what happens.”—Rand Richards Cooper, The New York Times Book Review
