Description
The Empathy Exams by Leslie Jamison is a bold and brilliant collection of essays that explore our basic understanding of others. Through her own experiences as a medical actor, Jamison asks essential questions about how we care for each other and how we can feel another's pain. Her essays span wide-ranging territory, from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration, in search of a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace. By confronting real and imagined pain, Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel.
