The body is a source of pleasure and of pain, at once
hopelessly vulnerable and radiant with power. At a moment
in which basic rights are once again imperilled, Olivia Laing
conducts an ambitious investigation into the body and its
discontents, using the life of the renegade psychoanalyst
Wilhelm Reich to chart a daring course through the long
struggle for bodily freedom, from gay rights and sexual
liberation to feminism and the civil rights movement.
Despite its many burdens, the body remains a source of
power, even in an era as technologized and automated as
our own. Everybody is an examination of the forces
arranged against freedom and a celebration of how
ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape
the world.
