RaveReadings (AU)These essays are all driven by a deep, restless curiosity about the breadth of the human experience and the ways in which it is captured and explored. Many of Jamison’s observations about the work of other artists are equally applicable to her own ... Jamison and her subjects also share a reverence for art and the meaning it offers us, even as they all question their own veracity and motives with every breath. Beyond the wonderfully unusual content, this collection is also notable for its brilliant writing. Jamison’s words are poised and original; her excruciatingly articulate yet always compassionate observations are compelling, regardless of topic.
