I'm thrilled by the magnitude, ingenuity and heart of Regina Porter's daring vision
Irenosen Okojie, author Butterfly Fish
The Travellers is a rare debut that heralds what should be a long and promising career
Times Literary Supplement
Regina Porter has written another marvel of a novel. The Rich People Have Gone Away gives the reader a spiraling cross-section of richly drawn, impeccably observed New Yorkers... A kind of masterpiece of human portraiture that simultaneously renders quintessential depictions of the city, of America, and of the whole world in these first fraught decades of the 21st century
Paul Harding, author of This Other Eden
Wildly intelligent, brilliantly crafted, prismatic, living and breathing - a remarkable feat of sensation and humanity. Regina Porter is a marvel
Claire Lombardo, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
Exquisitely drawn characters, scenes that jump off the page, and international locales that'll make you want to pack a bag and go, The Rich People Have Gone Away is a novel that fearlessly defies conventions to deliver a satiating, five-star experience. A keen observer of people and class, Regina Porter has crafted an inventive, hilarious, and wholly unpredictable work full of vibrant prose and genuine tenderness. A seven-course meal that gets better and better
Mateo Askaripour, author of Black Buck
A lush study of relationships, keen on the particulars of vast human catastrophes
Raven Leilani, author of Luster
A glorious jambalaya of word, thought and feeling, Regina Porter's prose positively howls from the page. Just when you thought you didn't need another novel set in New York, you suddenly, desperately do
Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends
