The book, a classic portrayal of the brutality and inhumaness of the time, was written while author Tom Kromer (1906-1969) was working at a Civilian Conservation Corps camp in California, and was his only completed novel. \u003cem\u003eWaiting for Nothing \u003c\/em\u003edescribes Kromer's travels on the rails, his encounters with small-time cooks, prostitutes and homosexuals, and the endless search for enough food to eat and a warm place to sleep. Throughout the book, Kromer describes the plight of a vast army of unemployed workers, left to fend for themselves in a largely uncaring society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Kromer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951682394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951682392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orchard Innovations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Tom Kromer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049694163199,"sku":"9781951682392","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b860302-fe67-4193-8212-0cd2943e4520.jpg?v=1685002951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waiting-for-nothing-tom-kromer-9781951682392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
