受到欢呼The New Yorkeras “an acute and compassionate observer,”Nomadland作者杰西卡·布鲁德（Jessica Bruder）报道了社会不公正，亚文化和美国资本主义的黑暗底层。她的头脑清醒和善解人意的故事是“令人惊叹且写得精美的”The New York Times Book Review，在我们完成阅读后很久，我们困扰着我们。

Bruder’sNomadland—the basis of the Oscar-winning film of the same name—记录了出于经济必要性而从工作到工作的巡回美国人的生活。从大型零售商到商业农民的雇主发现了一种新的廉价劳动力来源：短暂的老年人。当社会保障短缺并且其抵押贷款下水时，这些大萧条的伤亡人数被旧的RVS，拖车和露营车驶向道路，形成了一个自我识别的“工作清单”的移民社区。Nomadlandfollows Bruder’s unforgettable subjects as they clean campground toilets, scan products in warehouses, and harvest beets in a scramble to survive, often long past the age at which they expected to retire.

In a feat of immersive journalism, Bruder drove from coast to coast and from Mexico to Canada―a total of 15,000 miles―and spent months living in a secondhand camper nicknamed Van Halen to understand her subjects’ lives and experiences on a more personal level. She came away determined to shine a light on the urgency of providing affordable housing, raising the minimum wage, preserving Social Security, and decriminalizing homelessness. Her “devastating, revelatory book” (The Washington Post）预示着可能正在等待我们更多人的不稳定的未来，同时仍设法庆祝她的主题的典型美国韧性和创造力。

Anthony Lukas Prize and the Helen Bernstein Book Award.Library Journal和Kirkus Reviews两者都列出Nomadlandamong their top 10 titles of 2017.

Topping dozens of Best Films of 2020 lists,Nomadland在2021年奥斯卡金像奖上拍摄了最好的照片，最佳导演和最佳女演员。
