Scream, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. When you are born, the first thing you do is scream.

Be it a response to fear, anger, sadness, or happiness, the scream is a declaration of being alive. The metal vocalist cupping the microphone blares out a deafeningly harsh scream.

The drill instructor screams out commands to their soldiers. And then there’s the bloodcurdling screams we know from horror films.

A scream has many meanings, but it is an instinctive and reflexive action that, at its core, reveals raw emotion. Investigating popular and alternative cultures, art, and science, Michael J.

Seidlinger tracks the resonance of the scream across media and literature and in his own voice.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
