Book Group Discussions Thursday, May 20, 2021 at 10:30 AM or Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 6:30 PM Online participation via Zoom In a secondhand vehicle she christens 'Van Halen,' Jessica Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately. Accompanying Linda May and others from campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions, Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy--one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, she celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these quintessential Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive.
