Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

The Vance family story begins hopefully in post-war America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility. A deeply moving memoir with its share of humour and vividly colourful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country

Velmi zajímavá kniha - hledala jsem ji v českém jazyce, ale není dostupná. I přesto mi slovenština nevadila. Myslím, že by ji měli přečíst všichni, kteří se zajímají o dění kolem sebe.
