The Empathy Exams: Essays - Leslie Jamison (Paperback) 04-06-2015 Short-listed for William Hazzlit Notting Hill Editions Essay Prize 2013 (UK).

The subjects of this stylish and audacious collection of essays range from an assault in Nicaragua to a Morgellons meeting; from Frida Kahlo's plaster casts to a gangland tour of LA. Jamison is interested in how we tell stories about injury and pain, and the limits that circumstances, bodies and identity put on the act of describing.
