Matthew Desmond · humanities

Recommended by @dominik

Painstakingly researched through applied field research, the author embedded himself in Milwaukee to understand eviction, both from the perspective of tenants and landlords. Devastating, heart-wrenching, and depressing, but powerfully and evocatively told through moving, sonorous prose.
