Marty’s Book Club: Readers meet at 5:30 pm on Thursday, December 9, to discuss Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder. “Employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads… Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately,” (Nomadland, 2017). Copies available at the desk.
