Über diesen Titel

Everybody is a fierce, vital exploration of what it means to have a body in the modern era.

Embodiment is not an easy business. From violence to illness, sexuality to racism, the fact of a body can be impossibly hard to inhabit. Olivia Laing draws on her own background in protest and alternative medicine to investigate the reasons why. Laing’s exploration of the complexities of bodily life takes in some of the most significant and beguiling figures of the past century, among them the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, the painters Francis Bacon and Agnes Martin and the singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone.

Despite its difficulties, the body remains a source of power, even in an age as technologised and automated as our own. Everybody is at heart a celebration of how ordinary human bodies, whatever they look like, can resist oppression and reshape the world.

I was drawn to this book because I wanted to know more about Reich, a desire that is certainly fulfilled. But there's so much more to this book as Laing refers, in fascinating detail, to numerous artists, writers and activists, some known, some less known. It is a very insightful and thought-provoking book. Before reaching the end of this book, I sent it on as a gift; such was my desire to share the contents.

An Excellent book
