✨🗣️ New Book Review! Kate Roberts reviews Melody Glenn’s “Mother of Methadone.”
Roberts writes that, "Glenn situates this history amid today’s overdose crisis, which killed more than 100,000 Americans in 2021 alone. In that context, the failure to expand methadone access is not simply bureaucratic inertia but a form of structural violence. Her book makes clear that methadone is not only pharmacology — it is the embodiment of America’s ambivalence about whether people who use drugs deserve to live."

✨🗣️ New Book Review! David McGlynn reviews Margot Singer’s “Secret Agent Man.”
McGlynn writes that, "Singer is most tender, and most evocative, when she’s recounting her toughest moments: her fraught conversations with her elderly father, her broken heart, her near-violent sexual encounter with a fellow American traveler in a New Zealand youth hostel, from which she barely escapes. It’s precisely because Singer shows herself to be savvy and insightful that I ached to spend a bit more time reading about her time deep inside the engine of American capitalism."
