She has been compared to Joan Didion and Susan Sontag, acclaimed for her powerful thinking, deep feeling, and electric prose. But while Jamison has never shied away from challenging material--scouring her own psyche and digging into our most unanswerable questions across four books--\u003ci\u003eSplinters\u003c\/i\u003e enters a new realm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In her first memoir, Jamison turns her unrivaled powers of perception on some of the most intimate relationships of her life: her consuming love for her young daughter, a ruptured marriage once swollen with hope, and the shaping legacy of her own parents' complicated bond. In examining what it means for a woman to be many things at once--a mother, an artist, a teacher, a lover--Jamison places the magical and the mundane side by side in surprising ways. The result is a work of nonfiction like no other, an almost impossibly deep reckoning with the muchness of life and art, and a book that grieves the departure of one love even as it celebrates the arrival of another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How do we move forward into joy when we are haunted by loss? How do we claim hope alongside the harm we've caused? A memoir for which the very term \u003ci\u003etour de force\u003c\/i\u003e seems to have been coined, \u003ci\u003eSplinters\u003c\/i\u003e plumbs these and other pressing questions with writing that is revelatory to the last page, full of linguistic daring and emotional acuity. Jamison, a master of nonfiction, evinces once again her ability to \"stitch together the intellectual and the emotional with the finesse of a crackerjack surgeon\" (NPR).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeslie Jamison\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers\u003ci\u003e The Recovering\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Empathy Exams; \u003c\/i\u003ethe collection of essays \u003ci\u003eMake It Scream, Make It Burn\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the PEN\/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award; and the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Gin Closet, \u003c\/i\u003e a finalist for the\u003ci\u003e LA Times \u003c\/i\u003eBook Prize.
