On Freedom Summary

On Freedom: The electrifying new book from the author of The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson

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' 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 - with all its complexities - 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' Guardian

'This provocative meditation...shows Nelson at her most original and brilliant' New York Times

'Nelson is such a friend to her reader, such brilliant company... Exhilarating' Literary Review

* A New York Times Notable Book *

On Freedom Reviews

With insight and intellectual rigour Nelson wrestles the concept of freedom away from its contemporary political misuses and explores what it means in the context of art, sex, drugs and climate. * Guardian *
Part of what makes [Nelson's] writing so compelling is a comfort with uncertainty... It is a delight to spend time with Nelson's erudite mind. * Times Literary Supplement *
Nelson is such a friend to her reader, such brilliant company. Her book is a nuanced, exhilarating rallying cry for all those who are tired of the drab norms of our tech-topia and who long for another conversation * Literary Review *
[Nelson's] books vary between an academic or lyrical register, but all revel in the recognition that feeling and thought aren't fixed... They encourage a slowing down, an absorbing... [and a] willingness for intellectual and linguistic exploration. * Financial Times *
This account soars in its ability to find nuance in considering questions of enormous importance... Once again, Nelson proves herself a masterful thinker and an unparalleled prose stylist. * Starred Publishers Weekly Review *
