The Disappeared

Praise for The Disappeared:
“A quietly astonishing collection. . . . These stories are cleareyed and unadorned, invested with just as much authority as they require to do their appointed work, like a row of votive candles in the dark recess of a church.” —Justin Taylor, New York Times Book Review

“Every story in the collection is beautifully constructed, consisting of elegant, at times lyrical prose, is engaging, and is propelled by a compelling, astute narrative voice.” —New York Journal of Books

“The stories in The Disappeared, like his debut, are precisely tuned to the micro moments of our everyday lives, which is to say, in his stories, Porter continues to show us wise, patient, and astute perspectives on the human condition.” —Keith Pilapil Lesmeister, BOMB
