Bob Wells

"Bob [Wells] didn’t want his father’s fate, but there he was. As days became decades, he went to a job he hated, worked with people he didn’t like, to buy things he didn’t want.

Opinion piece inspired by Jessica Bruder's Nomadland: "I'm 73, and I live in a van. I feel like there's no place for me in California anymore."
