Review of 'Dirt' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Fifty pages in and I'm not sure I'll read much more. It's interesting and entertaining, but it's also infuriating to read about a hyper-privileged family that has no shame in milking its connections to get Buford opportunities that other, harder-working and more qualified people would salivate over. When people talk about mediocre white men failing up, this is what they mean. If I so brazenly worked my network to get access/opportunities for which I was unqualified, I would be embarrassed. I certainly wouldn't write a book about it.
