An Evening with Leslie Jamison + Longform

Take a deep dive into the work of one of the most perceptive and captivating writers in the game when Longform co-founder Max Linsky interviews Leslie Jamison for a live taping of the podcast at Frick Fine Arts Building. They'll be discussing Jamison's new book, Make It Scream, Make It Burn, a collection of essays about "the fantasy of objectivity," as she described it to NPR in September. The book includes a version of her critically acclaimed 2014 essay in Atavist, "The Legend of the Loneliest Whale In The World," about a blue whale who sings at a frequency that can't be heard by any of their species and the cultural phenomenon it provoked on land.
