"American history comes to vivid, engaging life in this tale of two interconnected families (one white, one black) that spans from the 1950s to Barack Obama's first year as president. . . . The complex, beautifully drawn characters are unique and indelible."--Entertainment Weekly

"An astoundingly audacious debut."--O: The Oprah Magazine - "A gorgeous generational saga."--New York Post

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE - FINALIST FOR THE PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD FOR DEBUT NOVEL

Meet James Samuel Vincent, an affluent Manhattan attorney who shirks his modest Irish American background but hews to his father's meandering ways. James muddles through a topsy-turvy relationship with his son, Rufus, which is further complicated when Rufus marries Claudia Christie.

Claudia's mother--Agnes Miller Christie--is a beautiful African American woman who survives a chance encounter on a Georgia road that propels her into a new life in the Bronx. Soon after, her husband, Eddie Christie, is called to duty on an air craft carrier in Vietnam, where Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" becomes Eddie's life anchor, as he grapples with mounting racial tensions on the ship and counts the days until he will see Agnes again.

These unforgettable characters' lives intersect with a cast of lovers and friends--the unapologetic black lesbian who finds her groove in 1970s Berlin; a moving man stranded in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, during a Thanksgiving storm; two half-brothers who meet as adults in a crayon factory; and a Coney Island waitress whose Prince Charming is too good to be true.

With piercing humor, exacting dialogue, and a beautiful sense of place, Regina Porter's debut is both an intimate family portrait and a sweeping exploration of what it means to be American today.

Praise for The Travelers

" A] kaleidoscopic d but . . . Porter deftly skips back and forth through the decades, sometimes summarizing a life in a few paragraphs, sometimes spending pages on one conversation. As one character observes, 'We move in circles in this life.'" --The New Yorker

"Porter's electric debut is a sprawling saga that follows two interconnected American families. . . . Readers will certainly be drawn in by Porter's sharp writing and kept hooked by the black-and-white photographs interspersed throughout the book, which give faces to the evocative voices."--Booklist

Great tasting South African snack
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I bought the droëwors and it tastes exactly like it should, well-seasoned, flavorful, and clearly high quality. The texture is just right, making it perfect for snacking. The order was shipped on time and arrived as expected. Overall, a great product and a great buying experience. I would definitely purchase again and highly recommend both the droëwors and the seller.
