Carlyn Zwarenstein lives in Toronto and writes distinctly stylish, emotionally intense and politically daring non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. Her writing has been described as "intoxicating", "sensuous and compelling", and "rage-inducing". Her latest book, On Opium: Pain, Pleasure, and Other Matters of Substance (Goose Lane, 2021 with audiobook from ECW press, 2022), tackles the overdose crisis, chronic pain, capitalism, and Romantic literature among other subjects, blending journalism, science writing, literary biography, memoir and social commentary. On Opium expands on the short memoir, Opium Eater: The New Confessions (2016), a Globe & Mail Best Book of 2016, shortlisted for the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada's 2016 general audience book award. Zwarenstein's books and articles have been taught on university courses in English literature, social work, women’s studies, and literatures of addiction. Follow her on Twitter @CarlynZwaren.
