Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Evicted by Matthew Desmond, read by Dion Graham.
Arleen spends nearly all her money on rent but is kicked out with her kids in Milwaukee's coldest winter for years. Doreen's home is so filthy her family call it 'the rat hole'. Lamar, a wheelchair-bound ex-soldier, tries to work his way out of debt for his boys. Scott, a nurse turned addict, lives in a gutted-out trailer. This is their world. And this is the 21st century: where fewer and fewer people can afford a simple roof over their head.
From abandoned slums to shelters, eviction courts to ghettoes, Matthew Desmond spent years living with and recording the stories of those struggling to survive - yet who won't give up.
A work of love, care and humanity, Evicted reminds us why, without a home, nothing else is possible. It is one of the most necessary books of our time.

Important
I thought I understood, abstractly, how brutal, hard and stressful a life of poverty in a rigged, unforgiving capitalist system must be. But this account is so important as it displays, explains, and confirms the realities and statistics it also found out. This book makes it clear how policy decisions create an extractive private housing market that strips the poor of 70 or 80% of their monthly income.
The book is extremely valuable, important and also crushing. It's brutal to hear how people are ground down in this reality.
I didn't like the style of storytelling: way way too many names of people and places made it confusing, as well as descriptions I often found hard to visualize. The audio-book narrator was also very flat, too fast and didn't differentiate voices in dialogues.
