'A memoir of life in the Trump-voting white working class is the
political book of the year? Sunday Times
'Hillbilly Elegy' is a passionate and personal analysis of a
culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The
decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been
slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with
growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written
about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true
story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like
when you were born with it hung around your neck.
