Summary

Hillbilly Elegy : A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis


A #1 New York Times BestsellerHillbilly 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.
