Description

Everybody: A Vital Examination of the Long Struggle for Bodily Freedom

From the award-winning author of Crudo, Everybody is an exhilarating and eminently readable study of the long struggle for bodily freedom – from gay rights and sexual liberation to feminism and the civil rights movement.

Drawing on their own experiences in protest and travelling from Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, Olivia Laing grapples with some of the most significant and complicated figures of the past century, among them Nina Simone, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag, and Malcolm X.

At a time when basic rights are once again in danger, Everybody is a crucial examination of the forces arranged against freedom – and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world.

‘Intensely moving, vital and artful’ – Guardian

‘A dizzying ride . . . both timely and beguiling’ – Sunday Times

‘An ambitious, absorbing achievement that will make your brain hum’ – Evening Standard

‘Sets her alongside the likes of Arundhati Roy, John Berger and James Baldwin’ – Financial Times

Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize.

Pages: 368, Year of Publication: 1011, Dimensions: 13x13cm
