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 the human scale—where every uncovered secret reveals the truth of our obligations to each other—Lista builds his compulsively readable narratives from details, such as fake flowers or a little girl's necklace, that others might pass over. These details provide a doorway into the extreme situations he is drawn to.
The Human Scale not only includes Lista's most celebrated magazine stories to date but also 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.
