Show Notes
Andrew Porter’s newest, The Imagined Life, is a beautiful and atmospheric novel following a man on a search for his father, who disappeared decades ago. Tangled up in the complications of academia, the issues of exploring sexuality, and the haunting visions of the inappropriate parties his parents threw in his backyard, Stephen struggles to piece together the answers he needs so that he can create the life he wants. This novel is subtle, complex, and beautifully written. Join us this week to find out how Andrew created an incredible novel out of the subtleties of family dynamics.
