Download or read book The Chronicles of a Sophisticated Redneck written by Phillip Garrett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College taught me about wine, women, and song. Not necessarily in that order. The music sounds a little better with a fiddle. Life is about how you handle adversity. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move on. If you haven't faced adversity in life, you're going to. These are just a few of Phillip E. Garrett's trademark "Phillipisms." He learned these lessons during his wild adolescence, heady college days, and challenging adulthood in southern Virginia. His new memoir documents Garrett's various adventures, from buying his first car to navigating life as a single dad. His work is an ode to an Appalachian adolescence, complete with his first beer, coveted Farrah Fawcett poster, and beloved dog. He also includes the Redneck Oscars, a playlist of his favorite songs (which would be at home on Outlaw Country), and a history of his community-also known as the Moonshine Capital of the World. While many of Garrett's recollections are laugh-out-loud funny, he delves into deeper topics, discussing the tragedies in his life and how he managed to move forward. Whether you're a redneck, a sophisticate, or a sophisticated redneck, you'll find something to laugh about and something to love in Garrett's work.

Download or read book Hillbilly Elegy written by J. D. Vance and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS NOW A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING AMY ADAMS, GLENN CLOSE, AND GABRIEL BASSO "You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist "A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal "Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.
