Synopsis
As in his National Book Award-winning EUROPE CENTRAL, William T. Vollman uses dozens of vignettes to create a sweeping portrait of humanity across large swaths of time and space. Though Vollman's artistic sense of texture and drama are in fine form, POOR PEOPLE is a work of nonfiction, a collection of anecdotes about people from around the planet who struggle against the oppression of poverty. At times the stories have a clear political or social context, but at others they are mysterious, rhapsodic, or controversial. In the end, Vollman's rich sense of people, history, and culture grows into a grand and moving symphony.

Industry reviews
"[A]n intellectually rigorous yet ultimately humane work."
 (03/02/2007)

"[William Vollmann's] unsentimental portraits--of Russian beggars, indentured Chinese prostitutes, Kazakh school-teachers reduced to shoveling snow--are revelatory."
 (04/30/2007)
