Description

Whether investigating a gruesome triple-murder, a fairy tale marriage gone horribly wrong, or a brilliant con artist, Michael Lista has proven himself one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation. In his belief that crime reporting thrives the closer it moves to â?o the human scaleâ?? â?" where every uncovered secret reveals the truth of our obligations to each otherâ?" Lista builds his compulsively readable narratives from details (fake flowers, a little girlâ?T s necklace) others might pass over, details that provide a doorway into the extreme situations he is drawn to. The Human Scale not only includes Listaâ?T s most celebrated magazine stories to date, but comes with postscripts that describe his process in writing each piece, and the fallout from publication. Here is long-form journalism in its most hallowed form: brilliant and bingeable.
