The discourse preceding and supporting Prohibition, for instance, framed alcohol as a public health problem as well as a threat to American moral values. Alcoholics Anonymous grew out of the Oxford Group, a Christian fellowship espousing the view that sin is a contagious disease driven by individual self-centeredness.

This seamless integration of medicine and morality is deeply embedded in American culture, in which, as Susan Sontag has argued, sick people are blamed for causing their own illnesses through their irresponsible, promiscuous, or undisciplined behavior. Coercive therapies such as PHW, McCorkel argues, are not alternatives to traditional forms of punishment but rather gendered extensions of them.

In many ways, medicalization and criminalization are two sides of the same phenomenon: both define and manage socially unwanted behaviors as expressions of personal flaws rather than as manifestations of social, economic, racial, and environmental inequalities and degradation. The United States boasts not only the highest rate of incarceration in the world but also the highest rate of prescription drug use.

Me and Big Foot

She's 85 years old. And as writer Jill McCorkle describes her, she's always seen the sunnier side of life. She's someone very comfortable in her own skin, proud of how she's lived her life, and I feel like she's someone, at the end, taking as much control as she possibly can. BLOCK: She's a former elementary schoolteacher, and she has a wonderful little business that she's set up in the retirement home. It's called exposure. BLOCK: So Sadie will take a Polaroid picture of one of the - her friends in the nursing home and glue it onto an image, say, of the Taj Mahal or glue someone onto a racehorse, make them a jockey, give them these wonderful lives that they never had.

And her friends in this facility indulge this because they're really, you know, trying to keep her on the assisted-living side and not make the move over to the nursing quite yet. The idea actually came from my own mother who has dementia and in the earliest phases did this very thing where she puts someone she thought should have been present in the photograph.

And then right after that, we read the final thoughts of the person who died. My idea for that, I was with my dad 20 years ago as he was dying. And as a writer, I'm very interested in those intersections that are often hard to pinpoint, the intersection of tragedy and comedy or fiction and reality, and in this case very much life and death. These are the final thoughts of the character named Luke Wishart ph as he's dying in New Hampshire.

Reading The light on the lake skips and shimmers like glass. He can walk over slick, cool, shiny glass, and his body tingles and moves without him. Slick and cool and there's barking and singing and laughing, lapping waves on the beach. And there's the clanging of the boat rocking, and it slipped while he waits in the warm water with the light whispering above.

His grandparents are there at the outdoor sink, scaling and cleaning the fish they caught, and his parents are inside dancing. Reading Feet turning slowly on that worn braided rug.

And when it gets dark, they will all squeeze onto the bench at the end of the dock and watch the lights over the lake, the stars and fireworks and distant island. The glowing face of his father's watch, he reaches and holds as he leans in close and closes his eyes. And I'm thinking especially of the character of Stanley Stone, who's actually faking dementia. He's mentally fine, but he is faking dementia for complicated reasons of his own.

But he poses as someone who's totally obsessed with professional wrestling and also has the habit of basically saying very nasty, bad things to anyone who makes Price Hill, Its Beauties and Advantages as a Place of Residence , was originally published in to promote Price Hill as the finest suburb in the city.
