Sarah Kendzior “The View from Flyover Country”

Local St. Louisan, Sarah Kendzior, provides a clear-eyed account of the realities of life in America’s overlooked heartland in The View from Flyover Country, a piercing critique of the labor exploitation, race relations, gentrification, media bias, and other aspects of the post-employment economy. The View from Flyover Country, with an updated introduction and epilogue that reflect on the ways that the You-Know-Who presidency was the certain result of the realities first captured in Kendzior’s essays, is necessary reading for anyone who believes that the only way for America to fix its problems is to first discuss them with honesty and compassion.
