Orange's essays range from the critical to the journalistic to the deeply personal; she seamlessly combines stories from her own life with incisive analysis as she explores everything from the intimacies we develop with celebrities and movie characters to the troubled creation of the most recent edition of the \u003ci\u003eDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e With the insight of a young Joan Didion and the empathy of a John Jeremiah Sullivan, Orange dives into popular culture and the status quo and emerges with a persuasive and provocative book about how we live now. Her singular voice will resonate for years to come.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichelle Orange\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Sicily Papers\u003c\/i\u003e and the editor of \u003ci\u003eFrom the Notebook: The Unwritten Stories of F.
