| Review Quote | 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 |
| Other text | Riveting and original. The Rich People Have Gone Away mines the delicate and treacherous terrain in which human relationships and social divisions are rooted |
