‘Hillbilly Elegy’ is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white
working-class Americans. Through this book, 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.
From the perspective of a former hillbilly who became a successful entrepreneur, this book tells a classic American dream story. It shows how with frequent family fights, financial difficulties, and an ever-changing cast of father figures as his backdrop, J.D. Vance still managed to succeed, first in the Marine Corps and then in a leading Silicon Valley investment firm.
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.
