Beth Macy's latest Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company That Addicted America is out now.❝ A dogged and empathetic reporter on the ills of Appalachia (see her earlier Factory Man), Macy sets her roving eye on the victims and villains of the opioid crisis in Roanoke, Virginia, from the end user whose heroin addiction began with back pain to a convicted (and somewhat scapegoated) drug dealer and finally Purdue Pharma, whose lies about OxyContin’s addictiveness went largely unpunished. The story isn’t new, but Macy’s approach is fresh in its humanity and its outlook, which is at once comprehensive and hyperlocal. [Vulture.com]
