Lunch with The Lancet. Kate Dolan.

摘要

Midway through my lunch with Kate Dolan, a ship appears on the stretch of ocean we can see from our table in a cafe in Sydney, Australia. The ship, looking something like a table turned upside down, seems to be carrying four enormous, inexplicable pillars out to sea. When we return to our conversation, Dolan tells me she used to live on a boat once. It was the mid-1980s, and a formative moment in her career, when she was helping establish Sydney's pioneering needle-exchange programme near the city's red light district.
