Controversial Passage from Early "Hillbilly Elegy" Edition Surfaces

A video circulating online features a man reading an explicit passage, which he identifies as being from a pre-2016 galley print of J.D. Vance's memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy." The passage, purportedly from Chapter 11, describes a graphic "right of passage into the chambers of manhood" involving a couch, two cushions, a rubber glove, and lubricant. The individual in the video states, "This is from JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, Chapter 11, the pre-2016 version. This is before Peter Thiel got to it." He then proceeds to read the controversial text. The excerpt details a shared experience among a group of men who "found ourselves beheld by the eroticism of two cushions, side-by-side, with that lush, inviting valley between." It continues to describe the use of a "rubber glove and any lubricant you had on hand." J.D. Vance, now a prominent political figure, gained widespread recognition for "Hillbilly Elegy," which became a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a film. If verified, the existence of such explicit content in an earlier version of his acclaimed memoir could spark significant discussion and scrutiny regarding the evolution of the text and its public presentation.
