This is perhaps the best book that has ever been written. It has been imitated by Nomadland, which is a shame, and so many people have written about the homeless from a distant, inefficacious vantage. Here, here my lads, here is a book that tells you the real story of a man who survived against nature, both human and elemental, who rose from the ashes of a dying past to deliver himself unto an altar of freedom. The freedom to live in his own apartment, on his terms. Always.
