A Paper Orchestra

In A Paper Orchestra (3 Girls Jumping), Emmy-nominated screenwriter Michael Jamin ’92 reflects on the unlikely experiences that have shaped his life. Across a series of personal essays, Jamin remembers faking his way onto a college football team, getting caught in a lie during a Hollywood power meeting, using the pandemic lockdown to reconnect with his daughters, and ending a relationship with a woman over the words “just kidding.” Funny, candid, and often unexpectedly poignant, the collection follows Jamin’s search for identity, love, forgiveness, and redemption, inviting readers to consider how the smallest and strangest moments of our lives can become those we treasure the most.
