Brian Goldstone is a journalist and anthropologist whose reporting focuses on inequality, housing, and the fragile architecture of the American dream. In this episode of Origin Stories, Goldstone talks to Matthew about There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America, his critically-acclaimed new nonfiction book.
"In the last five or six months of writing, where I was just in that sort of fever dream phase, I had started waking up at 4 AM," Goldstone says. "Because with kids, that's the only way I was going to finish this. So I would be at my desk at four in the morning. And what allowed me to keep moving forward was having an outline in front of me that had already been so heavily edited and revised. I could be confident that even if I can't see the forest for the trees right now, I know that if I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, I'm going in the right direction."
