"There Is No Place For Us" with Brian Goldstone
<p>Whoops! We skipped a month. Consider it our summer vacation. But we’ve got a big one this episode.</p><p>Here’s the deal: if there is one book you should read this year it’s Brian Goldstone’s “<strong>There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America</strong>” The book is an incredible work of journalism as it “…follows five families in Atlanta as they struggle to find stable housing while navigating low-wage work, predatory landlords, a lack of tenant protections, and a system that prioritizes profit over people's basic need for a home.” We’re honored to have Brian on the pod with us to talk about his experience writing such an emotionally taxing work. </p><p>But first: James Joyce’s love for farts. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Intro:</p><p>Olga Tokarczuk - The Empusium</p><p>Joyce Carol Oates - Fox</p><p>V.E. Schwab - Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil</p><p>S.A. Cosby - King of Ashes</p><p>Jess Walter - So Far Gone </p><p>Jess Walter - Beautiful Ruins </p><p>JRR Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings Series </p><p>James Joyce - The Selected Letters of James Joyce </p><p>Brian Goldstone - There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America</p><p>Larry McMurtry - Lonesome Dove</p><p>Hugh Raffles - The Book of Unconformities: Speculations on Lost Time</p><p>Katherine Boo - Behind the Beautiful Forevers</p><p>Adrian Nicole Leblanc - Random Family </p><p>Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor</p><p>Matthew Desmond</p><p>Rachel Aviv</p><p>Barbara Ehrenreich - Nickel and Dimed </p><p>Peter Rossi- Down and Out in America: The Origins of Homelessness</p><p>Ezra Klein - Abundance </p><p>Toni Morrison - The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations</p>
