Hi again. I read two books on the theme of freedom recently. They both came out in 2021: Maggie Nelson’s On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint, which came out in August, and Olivia Laing’s Everybody: A Book About Freedom, which came out in April. They’re two very different books, but they’re both about freedom, and the two writers cite each other and cite similar thinkers, so it feels to me like the books are in conversation with each other.
