Notebook: J.D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy (2016) is written with the same smugness of conservative presumption—the assumption that there really is no other prevailing ideology—as that of Lionel Trilling writing about liberalism’s dominance in the 1950s. It is like coming face to face with Flannery O’Connor’s characters--Mrs. May in “Greenleaf,” the grandmother in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” Mrs. McIntyre in “The Displaced Person”—those permanently aggrieved, superior whites so proud of having made something of themselves from nothing, who think everyone around them is either out to get them or cheat them or make fun of them or get something over them, a paranoia of the privileged that translates into one, long moan of aristocratic-odored judgments. Always remember The Road to Wigan Pier as an antidote to the effluence in this book.

—P.T.

Many of my new friends blame racism for this perception of the president [Obama]. But the president feels like an alien to many Middletonians for reasons that have nothing to do with skin color. Recall that not a single one of my high school classmates attended an Ivy League school. Barack Obama attended two of them and excelled at both. He is brilliant, wealthy, and speaks like a constitutional law professor–which, of course, he is. Nothing about him bears any resemblance to the people I admired growing up: His accent–clean, perfect, neutral–is foreign; his credentials are so impressive that they’re frightening; he made his life in Chicago, a dense metropolis; and he conducts himself with a confidence that comes from knowing that the modern American meritocracy was built for him. Of course, Obama overcame adversity in his own right–adversity familiar to many of us–but that was long before any of us knew him.

–J.D. Vance, from Hillbilly Elegy (2016).
