书籍简介

在这本感人至深的回忆录中，万斯讲述了他家的恶魔和美国的代际忽视问题的故事。他的母亲如何与虐待、酗酒、贫困和创伤的遗产作斗争，但从未完全摆脱这些遗产。他的祖父母是如何 "穷困潦倒而又相爱"，为他们的孩子付出一切，追逐美国梦。万斯如何战胜困难，从耶鲁大学法学院毕业。以及美国是如何抛弃和屈服于其白人工人阶级的，直到他们达到崩溃点。

In this deeply moving memoir, Vance tells the story of his family's demons and of America ' s problem with generational neglect. How his mother struggled against, but never fully escaped, the legacies of abuse, alcoholism, poverty and trauma. How his grandparents, 'dirt poor and in love', gave everything for their children to chase the American dream. How Vance beat the odds to graduate from Yale Law School. And how America came to abandon and then condescend to its white working classes, until they reached breaking point.
