Summary:
"Olivia Laing, the author of : 'To the river' , 'The trip to echo spring', and 'The lonely city' investigates the body and its discontents through the great
freedom
movements of the twentieth century. The body is a source of pleasure and of pain, at once hopelessly vulnerable and radiant with power. Olivia Laing charts a course through the long struggle for bodily
freedom
, using the life of the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich to explore gay rights and sexual liberation, feminism, and the civil rights movement. Drawing on her own experiences in protest and alternative medicine, and traveling from Weimar Berlin to the prisons of Joseph McCarthy's America, Laing grapples with some of the most significant and complicated figures of the past century-among them Nina Simone, Christopher Isherwood, Andrea Dworkin, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag, and Malcolm X. Arriving at a moment in which basic bodily rights are once again imperiled,
Everybody
is an investigation into the forces arranged against
freedom
and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world."
