Notes on Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance (2016

Memoir written by 31 descendant of Kentucky Hillbillies.  It's a pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of life story, a tough upbringing but ends up at an ivy league law school. It's also a meditation on what it means to be a hillbilly and from hillbillies in America. He's a good writer with a good sense of humor.  Is this the introduction the right wing answer to Obama? Time will tell.
