Beautifully written and haunting. Any man thinking about what kind of man or father he wants to be and what kinds he does not should give it a listen.

Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant's report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape.

Still packs a punch over 10 yrs since it was written

Deer Hunting With Jesus: Dispatches from America’s Class War is a good book. I laughed I cried. The author’s flowery yet explicit turns of phrase are hilarious. The narrative is mainly a bunch of character sketches from his hometown, with the premise that the American working class/lower middle class are getting drastically poorer and sicker and less economically mobile, but exploring why they continue to vote against against their own interests. They picked a good narrator, so passionate he sounds like he could have written the book. Some good relevant thoughts for Americans today.
