Homeless in Las Vegas: Stories from the Street
Few ethnographers can carry off the honesty and flexibility of Borchard s narrative. This is far and away one of the best written journeys through homelessness and all of its machinations personal, cultural, and institutional. --Corey Dolgon, author of The End of the Hamptons: Scenes from the Class Struggle in America s ParadiseIn this book, Kurt Borchard does what many authors and professors seem reluctant to do: get out of the office, hit the streets, and talk to people. The result is an intimate portrait (rather than a cardboard cutout) of homelessness in Las Vegas, which provides a better understanding of the issue and the city, both of which are extremely complicated. --Matt O Brien, author of Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas
