Jamison follows these examinations to more personal reckonings -- with elusive men and ruptured romances, with marriage and maternity -- in essays about eloping in Las Vegas, becoming a stepmother, and giving birth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Often compared to Joan Didion and Susan Sontag, and widely considered one of the defining voices of her generation, Jamison interrogates her own life with the same nuance and rigor she brings to her subjects. The result is a provocative reminder of the joy and sustenance that can be found in the unlikeliest of circumstances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinalist for the PEN\/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay \u003cbr\u003e One of the fall's most anticipated books: \u003ci\u003eTime, Entertainment Weekly, O, Oprah Magazine, Boston Globe, Newsweek, Esquire, Seattle Times, Baltimore Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, BuzzFeed, BookPage, The Millions, \u003ci\u003eMarie Claire, Good Housekeeping, Minneapolis Star Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, Lit Hub, \u003ci\u003eWomen's Day\u003c\/i\u003e, AV Club, Nylon, \u003ci\u003e Bustle, Goop, \u003c\/i\u003e Goodreads, Book Riot, Yahoo  Lifestyle, Pacific Standard, The Week, and Romper.\u003c\/b\u003e\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\u003e, and the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Gin Closet\u003c\/i\u003e.
