An Evening with Author Patrick Radden Keefe
Winnetka shop The Book Stall welcomes acclaimed author Patrick Radden Keefe on Friday, November 18 at 6:30 pm to celebrate the paperback release of Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. The New York Times bestseller is a portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium, and reputation destroyed by OxyContin. Empire of Pain is a compelling masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing that showcases the excesses of America’s second Gilded Age. The book presents a relentless investigation of the naked greed and indifference to human suffering that built one of the world’s greatest fortunes. Mr. Keefe will be in conversation with reporter Noah Kirsch. This event is free, registration is required. Please visit the Book Stall website to register
