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 new book.With the virtuosic synthesis of memoir, criticism, and journalism for which she has become known, Leslie Jamison offers us fourteen new essays that are by turns ecstatic, searching, staggering, and wise. In its kaleidoscopic sweep, Make It Scream, Make It Burn creates a profound exploration of 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. Indeed, this refusal to hide -- this emotional and intellectual frankness -- is precisely the quality that makes her questing and irrepressible voice impossible to resist.

文:书侠麦克元 我曾看过大海,也曾看过高山,但是不曾看过你。 分享一本书,最大的幸事就是通过书,跟作者进行心灵的沟通。这是一种淡淡的忧伤也是些许的孤独。这是音乐里的蓝调,也是人生里的一点心灵的慰藉。 你可曾听过蓝调音乐?淡淡的、冷冷的,带点孤独的忧伤,一杯鸡尾... (展开)> 更多书评 10篇

天才是不是一定要拿起背包四处牛浪,长期处于restless、rootless、longing的状态中才能写出好作品?不是的。全书中我最不感兴趣(也感恩她写得少)的就是她和诗人前男友俩文青那种在雷雨暴中开着房车穿越宾夕法尼亚、彼此认定此生“唯一”、浪漫又互相折磨的爱情。最好哭的是全书第三部分写亲人们的离婚、逝世、步入婚姻、尝试学习当个继母到最终孕育自己的生命。真正的天才不会被人间烟火气息湮灭了灵气,... 天才是不是一定要拿起背包四处牛浪,长期处于restless、rootless、longing的状态中才能写出好作品?不是的。全书中我最不感兴趣(也感恩她写得少)的就是她和诗人前男友俩文青那种在雷雨暴中开着房车穿越宾夕法尼亚、彼此认定此生“唯一”、浪漫又互相折磨的爱情。最好哭的是全书第三部分写亲人们的离婚、逝世、步入婚姻、尝试学习当个继母到最终孕育自己的生命。真正的天才不会被人间烟火气息湮灭了灵气,天才的使命就是帮我们普人表达我们能感受到但又说不出口的一丝丝惆怅和无所适从,承认the banality of life, 再写出the extraordinary ordinary,让我们普人在阅读中完成宣泄。 (展开)

看之前的预期完全错了,以至于看的时候确实被选题有点惊艳到。。。每次觉得要流于俗套的时候,阐释总会拐到我意想不到的方向,确实有很多新的视角和思考,但共鸣和触动没那么多,浅浅扣一星吧

灵气满溢的文集,作者的文笔好到让我想要顶礼膜拜,而比文笔更难得的是她的诚恳、自省和温柔。当代creative nonfiction的巅峰水准,比trick mirror好十倍。
