LIST
READ The 14
perceptive essays in
Leslie Jamison’s Make
It Scream, Make It
Burn are divided by
category—journalism,
criticism, or memoir.
Touching upon
everything from the
“loneliest whale in the
world” to Jamison’s
experience becoming
a stepmother, they
demonstrate that the
best-selling author
of The Empathy
Exams continues to
explore the limits of
human connection.
READ In the new
anthology Whose
Story Is This?, the
acclaimed essayist
Rebecca Solnit—
whom the New York
Times has called
“the voice of the
resistance”—explores
the battle to shape
the narrative of our
era. “The real work,”
she writes, “is not
to convert those
who hate us but to
change the world
so that haters don’t
hold disproportionate
power and so that
others are not sucked
into the nightmare.”
