Sarah Smarsh, the renowned journalist and author from rural Kansas, has made a name for herself as a leading voice on socio-economic class in America. Her 2018 book “Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth” was a National Book Award Finalist and a New York Times bestseller. Smarsh is now releasing a collection of her previously published work titled “Bone of the Bone: Essays on America by a Daughter of the Working Class”.
In a recent interview with KCUR’s Up To Date, Smarsh discussed how the issues she has been writing about for the past decade – economic injustice, rural issues, and gender – are still relevant today, despite the changing political landscape. She highlighted the current political tension and the importance of continuing the conversation around these topics.
To promote her latest book, Sarah Smarsh will be presenting at a Rainy Day Books event on Monday, September 16 at Unity Temple on The Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The event, open to the public, will provide an opportunity for readers to engage with Smarsh and hear her insights on America from the perspective of a working-class daughter.
Rainy Day Books, a financial supporter of KCUR, is hosting the event, but KCUR’s journalism remains editorially independent of funders. Don’t miss the chance to hear from this influential voice on American class and society.
