Reviews
"Peter T. Kilborn's Next Stop Reloville documents an important piece of social history.... A fair and well-written chronicle."-The Wall Street Journal "Fascinating…. Kilborn shows how… for these modern-day nomads, their lifestyle takes an extraordinary emotional toll."-The Washington Post "An extraordinary account of people who can't stay put, who sacrifice community and friendship and stability and roots for the next promotion, the next raise, the next move, which they believe takes them one step closer to the top."-Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Meticulously attributed and balanced observations…. [Kilborn's] look into a little noted and consequential trend in American life is revealing."-The Boston Globe "A thoughtful exploration of an important phenomenon."-Washington Monthly "Kilborn is a good storyteller, and these accounts... will be heartachingly familiar to any Midwesterner."-Lincoln Journal Star "A skillful storyteller, Kilborn captures the costs and loneliness of the Relo lifestyle."-Publishers Weekly "A solid update on the American rat race… [Kilborn] clearly evokes the rootlessness of [Relo] lives, with… everyone anxious about when the next transfer will come."-Kirkus Reviews "Next Stop, Reloville combines first-rate storytelling and sharp analysis… A must-read."-Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation "A fascinating account of a new type of transient worker in America, affluent in their material lives but impoverished in their community ties."-Stephanie Coontz, author of Marriage, A History "In this sympathetic and arresting portrait… Kilborn takes the Willy Lomans of the present age and weeps for them."-Rev. Paul F. M. Zahl, author of Grace in Practice: A Theology of Everyday Life, "A solid update on the American rat race... [Kilborn] clearly evokes the rootlessness of [Relo] lives, with fathers often on the road; mothers at a loss without intimate female friends and struggling to integrate themselves and their children into new communities; and everyone anxious about when the next transfer will come."-Kirkus Reviews "A skillful storyteller, Kilborn captures the costs and loneliness of the relo lifestyle."-Publishers Weekly "Next Stop, Relovilleis massively researched and well digested, but more than this, it interprets a phenomenon that not only goes to the heart of the American Dream but to the heart of human identity. The couples and shakers profiled, from Alpharetta, Georgia, to Castle Rock, Colorado, are in a kind of driven fog. They are each wondering, Who am I, and how did I get on this everlasting treadmill? In this sympathetic and arresting portrait of America's corporate gypsies, Kilborn takes the Willy Lomans of the present age and weeps for them."-Rev. Paul F. M. Zahl, author ofGrace in Practice: A Theology of Everyday Life "Writing in the tradition of William Whyte'sThe Organization Manand Robert and Helen Lynd'sMiddletown, Peter Kilborn has produced an insightful study of an aspect of American life that is at once familiar and startling.Next Stop, Relovillecombines first-rate storytelling and sharp analysis into a book that is a must-read for anyone interested in what makes this country-and its many restless workers-tick."-Daniel H. Pink, author ofA Whole New MindandFree Agent Nation "A fascinating account of a new type of transient worker in America, affluent in their material lives but impoverished in their community ties.
