![]() ![]() Also, Keefe may be one of the best author-narrators alive today – this audiobook was impossible to put down. I'm calling it now: this title will win multiple awards. ![]() Patrick Radden Keefe’s investigative journalism about the Sackler family has a history, too he first published his findings in a 2017 New Yorker article, The Family That Built an Empire of Pain. Members of the Sackler family founded Purdue Pharma, the infamous maker of Ox圜ontin, a prescription drug that has fuelled an opioid epidemic across North America for the last twenty years. If you listen to this audiobook, prepare to feel angry. The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama-baroque personal lives bitter disputes over. Every once in a while, I listen to work of narrative non-fiction so extraordinary, so outrageous, and so heartbreaking that I’m reminded that truth is stranger than fiction. Available to download on Libby as an eBook or audiobook. ![]()
