loppear reviewed Nomadland by Jessica Bruder
Brutal indictment of society, the freedom of being one step above desperate
3 stars
Journalistic stark account of precarious migrant labor of would-be retirees, especially post-2008 but many stories and paths to being unable to afford housing and able to scrape by with some sense of independence as long as your body holds up to exhausting physical labor of cleaning outhouses, amusement parks, warehouse fulfillment, or beet harvesting.
