Everybody: A Book About Freedom (Telo Kazhdogo)

Everybody's Body is a fictional exploration of the long struggle for bodily freedom, from gay rights and sexual liberation to feminism and the civil rights movement. Drawing on the life and ideas of defrocked psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, the author takes readers on a journey through Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, exploring the varied shades of straightforward 'freedom' and the obstacles that stood in its way. Blending fact, interpretation, and personal experience in her signature style, Lang infuses her book with the voices of significant and complex figures from the past century, including Sigmund Freud, Christopher Isherwood, Malcolm X, Nina Simone, Andrea Dworkin, and Susan Sontag.
