Praise for the Novels of Richard Roper

“[A] winning debut novel. .  . . Roper illuminates Andrew’s interior life to reveal not what an odd duck he is, but what odd ducks we all are — lonely, confused, misguided, bumbling and, as we learn in the book’s powerhouse ending, profoundly bereft. Roper’s unbridled compassion for his characters is the book’s greatest strength.” —New York Times Book Review
 
“Off-beat and winning . . . How Not to Die Alone gives resiliency and the triumph of the human spirit a good name.” —Wall Street Journal
