The movie from 1966 has a Teutonic flavor.

“Ullstein is facing a high demand for Vance’s best-selling book Hillbilly Elegy, but has refused to print more copies due to his political viewpoints (unrelated to the book).”

Thus always with the left. It’s politics first. Even before $$$.

Cyril Cusack was such a fantastic actor. Also, to his credit, a pro-life activist.

I am within a few hours of completing "Hillbilly Elegy" right now and would report that it provides a huge amount of backstory on Vance and how he became who he is today.

I would attribute his success to the influence of his grandmother and the USMC. The adult influences in his young life, his tumultuous childhood, military experience, and time at Yale Law were loaded with opportunities for Vance to gain a very broad (and rare) perspective on American life.

I went to the far-left Barnes and Noble a couple weeks ago looking for that book. None to be had. I went back on last Friday. They had a table load of them right up front.

I cut off about 300 chicken heads every Spring in Iowa. Very common activity for small town life.

I am not condoning it, but I am sure there’s a pdf version out there that circulates in Germany as a result of this censorship.
