#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NAMED BY THE TIMES AS ONE OF "6 BOOKS TO HELP UNDERSTAND TRUMP'S WIN"
"You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist
"A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal
"Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times
From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America’s white working class
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.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar 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.
But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance’s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.
A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful 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.

《乡下人的悲歌》是我2018年第一季度读过最好的书,当然,我还没读完几本。 2016年,J.D.Vance(以下简称万斯)出版这本书的时候才31岁,连他自己都觉得以这样的年纪写出这样一本自传式的回忆录“有些荒唐”。何况他的人生尚没有取得什么伟大的成就,除了从耶鲁法学院毕业(如... (展开)幸运儿是少数,大部分人依然在沉沦

文字虽很平易,故事极不简单。祖母这个角色真是令人神往。与我自己在俄亥俄中部和南部旅行的经历互相映照。此书刻下在美国大热,郡立图书馆排队等着街的有好几十号人。

肯塔基州农民运动考察报告。美国中部铁锈带中产阶级苦难的写照,是加州人民、纽约人民、华盛顿人民不能理解的。

讲middetonians心中的奥巴马一段很有意思 - 虽然O的credentials无懈可击,"nothing abt him bears any resemblance to the people I admired growing up". 也是HRC无法赢得他们的原因。

看到他從耶魯法學院畢業之後,娶了老婆,說,可惜mamw和papaw看不到了,真是差點哭出來。還有他在耶魯的導師是那個虎媽Amy chua,但是根據他的描寫,覺得Amy chua當年是被妖魔化了

听完了,很口语所以很容易听,但是比较无聊,让我想起了社会学上读过的一本讲美国都市贫穷黑人面临的困境的书,但不如那个有意思。穷白男再穷也比别的群体有优势。

谈不上深刻,但是多少对Hillbilly和Appalachian有了些理解。

无论是感悟还是经历,在我看来并不离奇,而是平庸。
