Why people recommend it
Raising Lazarus by Beth Macy is a deeply reported piece of investigative journalism that examines the ongoing American opioid epidemic and the heroic community efforts combating it. On The Ezra Klein Show, acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver strongly recommended the book during her closing remarks, describing it as an essential and brilliant follow-up to the author's previous work, Dopesick, that accurately captures the harsh realities of where the public health crisis currently stands. Additionally, Jumanna Katib discussed the publication on The Book Review, noting the author's established literary reputation following the massive success of her earlier writing, which was successfully adapted into a widely discussed television series. Both discussions emphasized the profound importance of Macy's continued reporting on marginalized communities, systemic healthcare failures, and the resilience of grassroots advocates fighting for survival and recovery across the country. The book serves as a vital historical and sociological document, urging readers and policymakers alike to confront the ongoing human toll of addiction with empathy, structural reform, and sustained national attention.
