DESCRIPTION:This month we will be reading\nEmpire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sa
 ckler Dynasty\nBy Patrick Radden Keefe\n\n\n“Empire of Pain is the saga of 
 three generations of a single family and the mark they\nwould leave on the 
 world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early\ntwentieth-cent
 ury Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and\nCap d’A
 ntibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. It follows the family’
 s\nearly success with Valium to the much more potent OxyContin, marketed wi
 th a\nruthless technique of co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downpla
 ying the drug’s\naddictiveness. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple inve
 stigations of the Sacklers\nand their company, and the scorched-earth legal
  tactics that the family has used to\nevade accountability.\nA masterpiece 
 of narrative reporting, Empire of Pain is a ferociously compelling\nportrai
 t of America’s second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super-elite
 \nand a relentless investigation of the naked greed that built one of the w
 orld’s great\nfortunes.” (Penguin Random House)\n640 pp., Penguin Random Ho
 use, 2021\n\nWe hope you will join us for a discussion of this remarkable w
 ork of nonfiction.\n
