It was through some of those terrific books that I first learned about the role the family played in the opioid crisis. Why did you want to write about the Sackler family? Keefe answered some questions by email.Ī lot of excellent books have been written about the opioid epidemic.
His latest book is Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty (Doubleday, April 13), which our reviewer called a “definitive, damning, urgent tale of overweening avarice at tremendous cost to society” it earned a place on our list of the Best Nonfiction of 2021. Patrick Radden Keefe is a staff writer at the New Yorker and the author of three books, including Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland, which was a finalist for the 2019 Kirkus Prize and the winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award.
