Bone of the Bone Essays on America by a Daughter of the Working Class [Audiobook]

Now, this thought-provoking collection of more than thirty of her highly relevant, previously published essays from the past decade (2013-2024)-ranging from personal narratives to news commentary-demonstrates a life and a career steeped in the issues that affect our collective future. Compiling Smarsh's reportage and more poetic reflections, Bone of the Bone is a singular work covering one of the most tumultuous decades in civic life. Timely, filled with perspective-shifting observations, and a pleasure to read, Sarah Smarsh's essays-on topics as varied as the socioeconomic significance of dentistry, laws criminalizing poverty, fallacies of the "red vs. blue" political framework, working as a Hooters Girl, and much more-are an important addition to any discussion on contemporary America.
