In its kaleidoscopic sweep, \u003ci\u003eMake It Scream, Make It Burn\u003c\/i\u003e creates a profound exploration of the oceanic depths of longing and the reverberations of obsession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong 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 amp;mdash; with elusive men and ruptured romances, with marriage and maternity amp;mdash; in essays about eloping in Las Vegas, becoming a stepmother, and giving birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften 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 amp;mdash; this emotional and intellectual frankness amp;mdash; is precisely the quality that makes her questing and irrepressible voice impossible to resist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179205837040,"sku":"2940170060603","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170060603_p0.jpg?v=1763700884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170060603","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
