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
