Why Are You Poor?
2007-Apr-16 by Laughcalvin
It's an age-old question that most of us ponder for a few minutes if we run into abject poverty, feel bad, and quickly move on. Laura Miller reviews William Vollman's latest in which he went around the globe asking this very question: This isn't an easy question to answer even when you have the luxury to think about such matters, and as the author points out, "communication being, like other skills, a skill of the rich, the poor people in this book sometimes failed to tell me what I longed to know. Dates did not add up, and their memories, like mine, were inconsistent -- one reason why this book cannot be simply a collection of oral histories."
Hmmm..only the rich can communicate..?? Maybe we just just don't speak the same language..??
