Much of the intellectual charge of Jamison's writing comes from the sense that she is always looking for ways to examine her own reactions to things; no sooner has she come to some judgment or insight than she begins searching for a way to overturn it, or to deepen its complications. First, the good news: Leslie Jamison is an amazing writer. To journalists too: before long it seemed every enterprising US feature writer was poring itchily over online accounts of symptoms and the struggle for acceptance. Her last essay about her grand unified theory of female pain blew me away, as it integrated feminism, history, empathy, literature, and so much more into a painful and poignant message of hope.
Echoing a long-running feature in Mojo Magazine, which looks at life-changing records, this series will focus on moments when writers encountered the work of a critic and found themselves transformed. I will end this review with the closing lines of the collection, just because I hope the strength of Jamison's conclusion will motivate someone to read the book in its entirety. She is another kitten under male hands. Jamison proposes that the girls on GIRLS are not so much wounded as post-wounded. Again, the author butts in, telling you she's worried she might have the disease she just wrote about. No insight into empathy, humanity, her... anything.

In the title essay, Jamison analyzes her experiences as a medical actor in which she plays patients with various illnesses and evaluate the treating physicians for the level of empathy shown. Which is a superlative kind of empathy to seek, or to supply: an empathy that rearticulates more clearly what it's shown. I know the "hurting woman" is a cliché but I also know lots of women still hurt. Jamison freely draws on her own life experiences.
A book that is relentless in its honesty and willingness to dive in, to go deep, to dwell where it hurts, whether real or imaginary. I think we should all be in our b—- era. " In fact, after reading something more than half of the book, I feel something curiously close to rage, and definitely identifiable as disgust. I did not love every essay in this collection, but the ones I did love, I would give six, seven, or ten stars. Jamison has no qualms about using herself as a subject, and I found her to be a fascinating character to spend time with.
It's made of exertion, that dowdier cousin of impulse. If the main theme is that of empathy, there is also a constant search on her part for absolute truthfulness in her accounts of encounters, emotions, events and intellectual musings. She says that she feels heartened by this instinctive identification, but wonders what it might finally be good for. APA citation: Chicago citation: Harvard citation: MLA citation: Rather than address it from a journalistic POV, simply relaying details of the case, Jamison follows the different people involved, the context, and the outcome with empathy. This tendency started rubbing me the wrong way fairly early, but I was carried along by the few narcissism-free essays and by the delightful prose; it was her essay about some wrongfully convicted boys made famous by a multipart documentary that finally made me blow my top. The medical acting part of it, and the actual context of empathy reach out to you and make you think from different angles. I didn't always like boybands. I want us to feel swollen by sentimentality and then hurt by it, betrayed by its flatness, wounded by the hard glass surface of its sky.
