Matthew Desmond’s Evicted is my favorite non-fiction book of 2016 so far. It tells multiple stories, from a close-up perspective, of the devastating effects that losing a home can have on a person’s life. Books like this, I think, are so important – not only for their policy prescriptions but for the way they make us pause and think about what it is like to be something we, perhaps, are not.
