From the beet fields of North Dakota to the wilderness campgrounds of California to an Amazon warehouse in Texas, people who once might have kicked back to enjoy their sunset years are hard at work. Underwater on mortgages or finding that Social Security comes up short, they're hitting the road in astonishing numbers, forming a new community of nomads: RV and van-dwelling migrant laborers, or "workampers." Building on her groundbreaking Harper's cover story, "The End of Retirement," which brought attention to these formerly settled members of the middle class, Jessica Bruder follows one such RVer, Linda, between physically taxing seasonal jobs and reunions of her new van-dweller family, or "vanily." Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of both the economy's dark underbelly and the extraordinary resilience, creativity, and hope of these hardworking, quintessential Americans?many of them single women?who have traded rootedness for the dream of a better life.

Jessica Bruder is a journalist who writes about subcultures and resilience.
For her most recent book, "Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century" (W.W. Norton & Co.), she spent months living in a camper van, documenting itinerant Americans who gave up traditional housing and hit the road full time, enabling them to travel from job to job and carve out a place for themselves in our precarious economy. The project spanned three years and more than 15,000 miles of driving—from coast to coast and from Mexico to the Canadian border.
Jessica has been teaching at Columbia Journalism School since 2008. She has written for publications including Harper's Magazine, The Nation, WIRED, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The International Herald Tribune, The New York Times Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, O: The Oprah Magazine, Inc. Magazine, Reuters and CNNMoney.com, along with The Oregonian and The New York Observer — where she worked as a staff writer — and Fortune Small Business magazine, where she was a senior editor. Her long-form stories have won a James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism and a Deadline Club Award.

电影果然还是没有现实残酷。以 Linda 为主线,持续采访了三年半。作者既亲眼目睹了 houseless 人们的生活,也亲身参与体验打零工。一手的资料,让现实显得更无奈。但本书纪实以外的内容约等于无,算是个遗憾

电影45:15之后那一段,惊艳哭了。。。摄影师太加分。。。主题明明很丧,但是从头到尾有一股坚韧的力量在不断冲淡阴霾。。。(看完满满的感恩,有房的踏实感什么都替代不了(⊙v⊙))

全书给我的感觉就是复杂、矛盾与无奈的交织。心情、情绪复杂,一方面作者充满了对流浪老人们的同情与关怀,同时又被他们的乐观互助所感动。矛盾既体现在国富民穷上,也体现在这个群体与外界社会、以及他们自己的内心;以亚马逊为首的资本家们以最低工资压榨这群老人、却又鼓吹“自由另类的退休生活”。作者对制度与现状的无奈,出于种种原因却回避了反思与探究、乃至解决方案(也许作者并无意改变现状?)。在无家可归(homel... 全书给我的感觉就是复杂、矛盾与无奈的交织。心情、情绪复杂,一方面作者充满了对流浪老人们的同情与关怀,同时又被他们的乐观互助所感动。矛盾既体现在国富民穷上,也体现在这个群体与外界社会、以及他们自己的内心;以亚马逊为首的资本家们以最低工资压榨这群老人、却又鼓吹“自由另类的退休生活”。作者对制度与现状的无奈,出于种种原因却回避了反思与探究、乃至解决方案(也许作者并无意改变现状?)。在无家可归(homeless)之外多了一个新概念无房可住(houseless),对照中国文化的买房情节,值得深思的一个议题。 (展开)

这个问题我好关注啊,感觉作者写的非常好。对于这种生活,我感觉有些向往,但是也不能忽略它的不方便的地方,总之,就目前的房车发展状况来看,感觉不会是多数人的选择,而我也没有这种勇气来过上这种特立独行的生活。但是,大多数人也不是自己选择的这条路,而是无路可走了,一个稳定的家,是大多数人梦寐以求的生活吧,希望所有人都能在他们所走的人生道路上开心,感到幸福

终于看完了,非常值得一看的一本书,是我极少涉猎的纪实性文学并成功让我对这部分内容开始感兴趣。总的来说大部分是女人们的故事,以及一些概念性的需求。流浪者就像椰壳里的章鱼一样无论如何都会努力活着。

#auidiobook 这本书采访了很多住在房车里称自己houseless的人。讲述了这一代住房车以及在亚马逊工厂打工的状况。改编的电影曾获奥斯卡最佳导演,最佳影片和最佳女主。电影的描述有点将苦难浪漫化,似乎这是一种浪漫生活的选择,但是听书就会知道,谁不是被逼无奈谁会做这样的选择呢?有声书方面,主讲者的声音pitch很高又很沙哑,我不是很喜欢她的声音,sorry。本书时长9时58分。3/5
