Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance


  • Vance recounts his personal story as the descendent of rural Kentuckians.  
  • The author also ties his experiences into trends within the decay of the Rust Belt.
  • Much of the Vance's experience centers around feeling as if he doesn't fit in as he crosses cultures.  
  • Vance focuses on how we as a society answer this question: Who is responsible for my success (or lack of)?
