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.

Beautiful Purse but could be better
Color: Denim Blue
I ordered this bag without reading the reviews. I actually read them after I ordered it and it arrived today.
After receiving the product I do agree with some of the other reviews. I REALLY wanted to give this five stars but I didn't like that the purse was shipped in a sealed vacuum bag which flattened the purse and put it in a purse bag. I do love the leather, material, and style of the bag. I also love that it is a great size. I also think the price is a little expensive considering that the purse is out of form and placed in a plastic sealed bag. Because I've always wanted a denim hobo style type bag I decided to keep it and I ordered a purse insert which cost me another twenty plus dollars so that when I wear the purse it won't tip over when I sit it down.

BULKY & BUCKLING HANDLES
Color: Tan
The handles are bulky, and the leather buckles where you normally would hold it which is very uncomfortable. If you try to use the shoulder strap, the handles don't come off and get in the way when holding the purse against your side. Unfortunately, I first used it well past the eligible return date. I'm so disappointed. I would not recommend this product.
