Jessica Bruder

The Gilcrease Museum, in association with the Helmerich Center for American History, TU’s Initiative in Cultures of the Americas, and Magic City Books, are pleased to host an evening with Jessica Bruder, author of Nomadland.

According to Booklist, “What photographer Jacob Riis did for the tenement poor in How the Other Half Lives (1890) and what novelist Upton Sinclair did for stockyard workers in The Jungle (1906), journalist Bruder now does for a segment of today’s older Americans forced to eke out a living as migrant workers. . . . [A] powerhouse of a book. . . . Visceral and haunting reporting.”
