Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century
Described as a modern Grapes of Wrath, Nomadland depicts the dystopian economic depression of an aging population for whom retirement is an out of reach dream.
Nomadland was the inspiration for Chloé Zhao's celebrated film of the same name, which was the winner of the 2021 Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress.
"People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book." -- Rebecca Solnit, writer, historian, and activist
