COVER REVEAL! Absolutely thrilled to share the cover for my forthcoming novel, THE IMAGINED LIFE, out from @aaknopf on 4/15! Pre-order below!
Coming 4/15/25, @AndrewPorter01’s THE IMAGINED LIFE is a probing, nostalgic novel about the impossibility of understanding one’s parents, about first loves and failures, about lost innocence, and about the unbreakable bonds between a father and a son. 📖: https://t.co/5qF8ps6nFu
