JD Vance's 2016 memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy' is getting a sales bump after the Ohio senator was picked to run alongside former President Donald Trump.
JD Vance published his bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy' in 2016, just months before former President Donald Trump won his first presidential campaign. Now, with Trump announcing Vance as his running mate on Monday, the book is back in the news — and at the top of the bestseller lists.
The memoir became a cultural talking point after Trump's presidential victory in 2016, with some readers seeking insights from the book about Trump's appeal to rural voters. In 'Hillbilly Elegy,' the Ohio senator reflects on the transformation of Appalachia from reliably Democratic to reliably Republican, sharing stories about his chaotic family life and about communities that had declined and seemed to lose hope.
