Reviews"Regina Porter weaves beauty and humor with pathos, in prose that is winding, prescient, and profound. She shows us worlds inside of worlds--of queerness, of love and relationships, of who we are and who we're told to be--crafting a narrative that is both precise and thunderous. The Rich People Have Gone Away moves and transcends. We're so lucky to have it." --Bryan Washington, author of Family Meal "A 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 twenty-first century." --Paul Harding, author of This Other Eden "Riveting . . . The Rich People Have Gone Away mines the delicate and treacherous terrain in which human relationships and social divisions are rooted." --Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake "With its 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. Regina Porter has crafted an inventive, hilarious, and wholly unpredictable work full of vibrant prose and genuine tenderness." --Mateo Askaripour, author of Black Buck "Regina Porter's wit and astute eye for detail made me want to both underline and inhale every line in one breath. . . . An immersive examination of the human condition in the face of tragedy and triumph." --Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl "A layer cake of suspense and a vibrantly alive portrait of several generations of New Yorkers as they fearlessly stake their anchors in the rippling sea of our era." --Kashana Cauley, author of The Survivalists "[ The Rich People Have Gone Away ] is cinematic, preternaturally humane, and absolutely unputdownable--I just loved it." --Claire Lombardo, People, "What Your Favorite Authors Are Reading This Summer" "A glorious jambalaya of word, thought, and feeling . . . 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 "An arresting novel of race, class, food, music, and family as thrilling and dynamic as the city itself." --Andrew Ridker, author of Hope "A delight . . . Regina Porter is a writer of such wit, warmth, and profound intelligence. Her indelible characters leap from her imagination to ours." --Margot Livesey, author of The Road from Belhaven "A lush study of relationships, keen on the particulars of vast human catastrophes." --Raven Leilani, author of Luster, "Porter's story has the signposts of a mystery and the economically stratified ensemble cast of a social novel. In chapters centered on characters whose lives are disrupted by the couple's drama and by lockdown, people sift through pasts whose cruelties match those of their pandemic present." -- The New Yorker "An astonishing accomplishment . . . I would greedily follow this writer anywhere. . . . This is the Covid novel you didn't know you wanted to catch." -- The Washington Post "Terrific . . . Inherent in any discussion of privilege must also be a discussion of race, and Porter examines these inseparable ideas with expert nuance in this novel." --Chicago Review of Books "Porter's story casts clear, vivid light on community, privilege, love, loss and the human dilemma--don't expect to put this one down 'til you're done." --Chronogram "A work of great ambition and elan." --The Guardian "Settles its gaze on matters of race and class, underlined by its breathtaking ending . . . This restless, intentionally unsettling novel establishes Porter as a distinctive, confident literary voice." -- Kirkus Review , starred review "Striking . . . Porter keenly explores themes of generational and racial privilege and a community's fragile bonds. This one makes the lockdown worth revisiting." --Publishers Weekly "Deft and recommended." --Library Journal "Regina Porter weaves beauty and humor with pathos, in prose that is winding, prescient, and profound." --Bryan Washington, author of Family Meal "A masterpiece of human portraiture . . ." --Paul Harding, author of This Other Eden "Riveting . . .

Regina Porter is a marvel." --Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling 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.
