The Empathy Exams

by Leslie Jamison

"Beginning with her experience as a medical actor, paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams asks essential questions about our basic understanding of others... These essays range widely from street violence to reality television, poverty tourism to literary sentimentality, illness to incarceration- in their search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace."  Highly recommended (Greywolf Press,$15.00)
