Hillbilly Elegy

Description

My name is J.D. Vance, and I think I

should begin with an admission: I discover the

presence of the book you hold in your

hands to some degree ludicrous. It says right

there on the spread that it’s a journal, however

I’m thirty-one years of age, and I’ll be the

first to concede that I’ve achieved

nothing incredible in my life, absolutely nothing

that would legitimize a total outsider

paying cash to find out about it. The

the coolest thing I’ve done, in any event on

paper is moving on from Yale Law

School, something thirteen-year-old J.D.

Vance would have thought about over the top.

In any case, around 200 individuals do the

same thing consistently, and trust me, you

try not to need to find out about a large portion of their

lives. I am not a representative, a senator, or a

previous bureau secretary. I haven’t

begun a billion-dollar organization or a

world-evolving philanthropic. I have decent work, an upbeat marriage, an agreeable

home, and two vivacious canines.

So I didn’t compose this book in light of the fact that

I’ve achieved something

remarkable.
