“Few ethnographers can carry off the honesty and flexibility of Borchard’s narrative. This is far and away one of the best written journeys through homelessness and all of its machinations—personal, cultural, and institutional.” - Corey Dolgon, author of The End of the Hamptons: Scenes from the Class Struggle in America’s Paradise
“In this book, Kurt Borchard does what many authors and professors seem reluctant to do: get out of the office, hit the streets, and talk to people. The result is an intimate portrait (rather than a cardboard cutout) of homelessness in Las Vegas, which provides a better understanding of the issue and the city, both of which are extremely complicated.” - Matt O’Brien, author of Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas
