Title: Pain Studies Author: Lisa Olstein Narrator: Lynde Houck Format: mp3 Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins Release date: 03-10-20 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 2 ratings Genres: History & Commentary Publisher's Summary: In this extended lyric essay, a poet mines her lifelong experience with migraines to deliver a marvelously idiosyncratic cultural history of pain - how we experience, treat, and mistreat it. Her sources range from the trial of Joan of Arc to the essays of Virginia Woolf and Elaine Scarry to Hugh Laurie’s portrayal of Gregory House on House M.D. As she engages with science, philosophy, visual art, rock lyrics, and field notes from her own medical adventures (both mainstream and alternative), she finds a way to express the often-indescribable experience of living with pain.
