Ms. Carter, who hails from the South Bronx and has been a longtime agent of change in what was once viewed as the most hardscrabble of New York neighborhoods, was talking about the arrival last week of Birch Coffee, whose exposed brick, reclaimed wood and $2.75 macchiatos make it an outlier on a stretch of Hunts Point Avenue dominated by dime stores, bodegas and auto shops.

From hardscrabble nights writing snippets for a Hearst newspaper in the 21959s to golden afternoons at Le Cirque with Sinatra or Hepburn and tête-à-tête dinners with Madonna to gather material for columns that ran six days a week, Ms. Smith captivated millions with her tattletale chitchat and, over time, ascended to fame and wealth that rivaled those of the celebrities she covered.

His implicit point was that Hillary spent the first 26 years of their 52-year bargain gaining all of the skills required to be a political leader, and experiencing all of the partisan scrutiny of a political principal, but without the platform or hardscrabble upbringing required to shape her identity, the way he did as a boy from Hope, or John Edwards did as the son of a millworker.

Rather than talking about how the big ideas floated by Democrats about how to create a more equitable society won't work or are pure lunacy, perhaps Schultz could use his influence and hardscrabble origin story to spark a conversation about just how difficult is to make it from one side of the tracks to the other, and the kinds of policies that it will take for families to get there.

If this multigenerational cast of characters has the reach of an epic novel, Delury's overarching interest lies in the more interior realms of identity and self-reinvention: the hardscrabble urban childhood fabricated by a country gentry, the counterfeit blood connection between a humorless government official and his schizophrenic fraternal twin brother, the reinvented persona of an expat educator in Madagascar, the split identities of Americans living in France.

Polly Ann calls herself "useful" because of her "milking body" and states "all my time I spend picking up/ putting down moving things around and still// I can't drown out the whop whop whop of steel…," I swear I wasn't born to cry so I'd be a lie if I say I wept when I left my mama's house—like I ain't know life up here would be hardscrabble rough—what's not?

She traded her hardscrabble but emotionally rich life in Butcher Holler, Kentucky that provided fodder for so many of her most beloved songs ("I remember well, the well where I drew water…") for a lonesome existence as the wife of a hard-drinking man, a young mother who barely knew how to cook more than cornbread and beans but had four children to raise by the time she reached her eighteenth birthday.

First, he was born into a family of peasants, the poor son of a miner who was raised in a home humble and cramped; second, his hardscrabble upbringing was a brutal one in which his dour working-class father buffeted him so viciously that it warped his psyche, causing him to see God the Father as a similarly glowering and sadistic figure to be placated and assuaged in endlessly humiliating religious contortions—or to be avoided entirely.

If you're looking for true Southern comfort in "Ten Restaurants," you might want to forget about Antoine's and go straight to the chapter on Sylvia's, the enduring soul-food restaurant on Lenox Avenue, near the Apollo Theatre, which a waitress named Sylvia Pressley Woods and her husband, Herbert, bought for twenty thousand dollars in 1962, transforming a local luncheonette into a celebration of the African-American kitchen that had seen her through a hardscrabble South Carolina childhood.

While it is true that thousands of people joined the Communist Party in those years because they were members of the hardscrabble working class (garment district Jews, West Virginia miners, California fruit pickers), it was even truer that many more thousands in the educated middle class (teachers, scientists, writers) joined because for them, too, the party was possessed of a moral authority that lent shape and substance, through its passion for structure and the eloquence of its rhetoric, to an urgent sense of social injustice.

This stark social Darwinism is clear in the closing paragraphs of Williamson's piece, which deserve to join the Nockian pantheon of contemptuous attitudes towards the masses: If you spend time in hardscrabble, white upstate New York, or eastern Kentucky, or my own native West Texas, and you take an honest look at the welfare dependency, the drug and alcohol addiction, the family anarchy—which is to say, the whelping of human children with all the respect and wisdom of a stray dog—you will come to an awful realization.

Yet Patterson's epic narrative derives its propulsive intimacy from the personal insurrections of four women against their circumstances and expectations: Addie, a committed 19th-century American missionary and mother of two; her sister, Louisa, who has ditched the comforts of their Ohio upbringing for the hardscrabble demands of an Illinois farm; Louisa's daughter, Hazel, a widowed cafeteria worker who finds renewal in an affair with her best friend's husband; and Juanlan, a college graduate in 1998 China whose interpretations of "Pride and Prejudice" seem to anticipate the Austenesque tensions of her own romantic choices.

Again, the broad strokes: Swann worked out at NC State without enrolling in school, while working a maintenance job at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds; there he is noticed by a New Orleans Saints scout named Tom Marino, who was in town to scout Wolfpack star Ray Agnew; Marino puts Swann in touch with a man named Dick Bell, who is the general manager of the Bay State Titans; Bell somehow convinces Swann's family that he should move to hardscrabble Lynn, Massachusetts to play for a team that does not pay its players; Bell also becomes Swann's agent in the process.
