The @nytimes.com says @totomcgee.bsky.social 's new book "Gone, Gone" is a stand-out among many books on the opioid crisis. Molly Young says it's "the first account I’ve found that must be respirated rather than read. Effortlessly intricate."

I had the great privilege of reading @totomcgee.bsky.social’s deeply moving, brilliantly inventive book in manuscript. Now it’s out in physical form from @dukepress.bsky.social. Very highly recommended.
