Description
An expansive, exhilarating work of nonfiction on freedom, by one of the most significant writers of our day.
What can freedom really mean?
'One of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' β OLIVIA LAING
In this invigorating, essential book, Maggie Nelson explores how we might think, experience or talk about freedom. Drawing on pop culture, theory and real life, she follows freedom β with all its complexities β through four realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate. On Freedom offers a bold new perspective on the challenging times in which we live.
'Tremendously energising' β Guardian
'This provocative meditation...shows Nelson at her most original and brilliant' β New York Times
