MAKE IT SCREAM, MAKE IT BURN Essays

Author Leslie Jamison narrates her latest essay collection in a quiet yet assured voice that will immediately draw listeners in. Her topics are wide-ranging--from the work of James Agee to Civil War photography and her experience of being a stepmother. Despite her disparate subjects, the collection is cohesive, as Jamison returns again and again to the relationship between self and other, artist and subject, the world as it is and our experience of it. Her narration is especially poignant when she recounts vulnerable moments from her own life. Throughout the audiobook her warm voice will make listeners feel as if they are sitting with her over coffee as she regales them with keen insights and startling observations.
