Painkiller->OxyContin->Heroin,这是作者展示给我们的美国阿片泛滥中所有成瘾者的天然路径。阿巴拉契亚山深处的美国城镇,伴随着全球化冲击之下大量倒闭的矿场、家具厂,到处是被经济上绝望和肉体上伤痛折磨的人群。这些依赖于阿片来消极避世的人,不再是上世纪八九十年代inner city追求毒品刺激的年轻一代和黑人,而是自诩为中产的白人。作者用详实记录了药品泛滥的根源:借助90年代盛行的“疼痛管理”的口号、厚颜无耻的推广止疼药品的制药公司;利欲熏心的门诊医生;追求刺激的高中生;在“监狱旋转门”反复挣扎而无法融入正常社会的毒贩;破碎的公共医疗体系和高昂到难以负担的戒毒诊疗;对药物依赖者的歧视和对药物戒毒的巨大偏见。对于250万药物成瘾者而言,更大的黑暗也许还未到来……
评分几个月终于看完这本书,虽然沉重,却异常真实,而最心痛的地方就是每一次epidemic的发生总要到很严重的时候才会被有力制止它们的人察觉。而那些有权有势的幕后推动者,永远不用为他们的罪行负责。现在的NYC还都有Sackler Family的建筑学校,财富的背后是千千万万破碎的家庭和早夭的青春。

Beth Macy is a journalist who writes about outsiders and underdogs. Her writing has won more than a dozen national journalism awards, including a Nieman Fellowship for Journalism at Harvard and the 2013 J. Anthony Lukas Word-in-Progress award for "Factory Man: How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring, Stayed Local -- and Helped Save an American Town," published by Little, Brown and Company in July 2014. She lives in Roanoke, Virginia, with her husband Tom, her sons, and rescue mutts Mavis and Charley.
In this masterful work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of America's twenty-plus year struggle with opioid addiction. From distressed small communities in Central Appalachia to wealthy suburbs; from disparate cities to once-idyllic farm towns; it's a heartbreaking trajectory that illustrates how this national crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.
Beginning with a single dealer who lands in a small Virginia town and sets about turning high school football stars into heroin overdose statistics, Macy endeavors to answer a grieving mother's question-why her only son died-and comes away with a harrowing story of greed and need. From the introduction of OxyContin in 1996, Macy parses how America embraced a medical culture where overtreatment with painkillers became the norm. In some of the same distressed communities featured in her bestselling book Factory Man, the unemployed use painkillers both to numb the pain of joblessness and pay their bills, while privileged teens trade pills in cul-de-sacs, and even high school standouts fall prey to prostitution, jail, and death.
Through unsparing, yet deeply human portraits of the families and first responders struggling to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus. In these politically fragmented times, Beth Macy shows, astonishingly, that the only thing that unites Americans across geographic and class lines is opioid drug abuse. But in a country unable to provide basic healthcare for all, Macy still finds reason to hope-and signs of the spirit and tenacity necessary in those facing addiction to build a better future for themselves and their families.
