Where it came from
Make It Scream, Make It Burn is a collection of essays published by Granta Books in 2019, serving as a follow-up to Leslie Jamison’s acclaimed work, The Empathy Exams. The volume explores themes of obsession, longing, and the human desire to be seen, with Jamison weaving together reportage and personal criticism to examine subjects ranging from whale song researchers to those fascinated by digital avatars.
The book’s design reflects its focus on the complexities of perception and the tension between interior experience and external reality. Critics noted Jamison’s characteristic blend of vulnerability and intellectual rigor, often highlighting her ability to transform niche interests—such as the lonely whale of the North Pacific or the legacy of the Civil War re-enactment—into broader meditations on the difficulty of truly understanding another person’s internal life.
