Hillbilly Elegy is a memoir by JD Vance that explores his experiences growing up in a working-class family in Appalachia. Vance discusses the challenges he faced as a child, including poverty, addiction, and family dysfunction. He also provides a broader analysis of the social and economic issues facing the region, arguing that a lack of opportunity and a culture of hopelessness contribute to the cycle of poverty and despair. While the book has received significant attention for its insights into the struggles of working-class Americans, it has also been criticized for its simplistic analysis and poor writing.
