Sarah Brothers

Hi, and welcome to the New Books Network.

I'm your host, Emily Dufton, and today I'm talking to Dr. Sarah Brothers about her new book, Hit Doctors: Care, Harm, and the Art of Survival, which was just released in August by the University of California Press.

Sarah is an assistant professor of sociology and public policy at Penn State, and her book is based on the years she spent conducting in-the-field ethnographic research with hit doctors in San Francisco, who are people who inject other people with drugs.

It's a rich and textured portrait of an often hidden demographic and one that empathetically details how marginalized populations are coping with the dangerous and increasingly deadly new era of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.

Right.

Well, I think you do a beautiful job of it.

Now, I've taken up a lot of your time today, but I really do want everyone listening to this to pick up a copy of Hit Doctors: Care, Harm, and the Art of Survival by Sarah Brothers, because I enjoyed it so much.

It's a very moving portrait.
