‘Hillbilly Elegy’ Gets a Blockbuster Sequel
  + stars: | 2024-07-15 | by ( A.O. Scott | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“I am not a senator, a governor or a former cabinet secretary,” J.D. Vance wrote on the first page of “Hillbilly Elegy,” by way of establishing his regular-guy bona fides. This is partly because Vance is, in fact, a senator, and also, as of Monday, the presumptive Republican vice-presidential candidate. This turnabout is notable because part of the legend of “Hillbilly Elegy” is that liberals were its intended audience and biggest fans. One is the large-scale movement of poor whites, among them the author’s maternal grandparents, from rural Appalachia to the cities and towns of the Rust Belt.

THE EXHIBITIONIST, by Charlotte Mendelson“I prefer stories about squalor,” J.D. Esmé would have gone nuts for “The Exhibitionist,” the fifth novel by the English writer Charlotte Mendelson, which was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2022. Set in sophisticated if not exactly moneyed quarters of London, with excursions to Edinburgh, it’s a model of tightly controlled domestic chaos. Google the word “exhibitionist” and you will surface some unsavory porn sites. There’s a big party planned, with a “full Mediterrfusion tasting menu” and early foreboding that it will not go well.
