Whether tackling societal woes such as strip mining, drug wars, disease and wrongful imprisonment, or slippery abstract constructs including metaphor, sentimentality, confession and “gendered woundedness,” Jamison masterfully explores her incisive understanding of the modern condition. In her nonfiction debut, the winner of the 2011 Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, Jamison ( The Gin Closet, 2010) presents 11 essays that probe pain alongside analyses of its literal and literary trappings. A dazzling collection of essays on the human condition. ![]() ![]() ![]() The chancellor denied appellant's petition that he be declared the sole owner of the lands in question and concluded that an undivided one-half interest in the lands should be confirmed in the appellee, Glenn Madison Wright, a minor, subject to the dower interest of his mother, appellee Lynda Davis Wright. ![]() The two brothers were the only surviving descendants.
