From the "astounding" (Entertainment Weekly), "spectacularly evocative" (The Atlantic), and "brilliant" (Los Angeles Times) author of the New York Times bestsellers The Recovering and The Empathy Exams comes a return to the essay form in this expansive book.With the virtuosic synthesis of memoir, criticism, and journalism for which Leslie Jamison has been so widely acclaimed, the fourteen essays in Make It Scream, Make It Burn explore the oceanic depths of longing and the reverberations of obsession.
Among Jamison's subjects are 52 Blue, deemed "the loneliest whale in the world"; the eerie past-life memories of children; the devoted citizens of an online world called Second Life; the haunted landscape of the Sri Lankan Civil War; and an entire museum dedicated to the relics of broken relationships. Jamison follows these examinations to more personal reckonings -- with elusive men and ruptured romances, with marriage and maternity -- in essays about eloping in Las Vegas, becoming a stepmother, and giving birth.
Often compared to Joan Didion and Susan Sontag, and widely considered one of the defining voices of her generation, Jamison interrogates her own life with the same nuance and rigor she brings to her subjects. The result is a provocative reminder of the joy and sustenance that can be found in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Great value for crossbody purse.
Perfect size, made well, zippers are heavy duty, really love this cross body. Was hoping in could have gotten gold hardware on the black bag.

excellent quality
Color: Iw003-black
Quality leather and construction! I wish the strap were a tiny bit narrower, but I cannot complain about such a well-made bag!

Nice strong leather, good purse
I generally liked this purse but ultimately returned it because I could not wear over the shoulder. It's good as a clutch or cross body. I tried as a cross body but it would slide to the front when I walked, maybe that's just a cross body thing in general, I don't know.

It's elegant in a simple, understated way. I love it!
Looks like expensive, pebbled leather. just enough pockets to fit all my things. slim design, but roomy enough fit many items. I like that the hardware is silver. It looks sharp with the black purse . love the two straps, so it can be worn on the shoulder or as a cross body bag to keep hands free It's elegant in a simple, understated way. I love it!

Oversized Logo ruins the look.
It's a great bag, lots of space, pockets and super cute except for the GIANT LOGO embroidered on one side. In the pics you think "maybe it won't be that bad in person." Well, it's worse in person. If this were a Gucci, Coach, MK - it would be great. But this is some random no name - and it's an ugly patch.
