Maggie Nelson sat down with the Literary Friction podcast and The Ezra Klein Show to discuss her latest book, ON FREEDOM. The Ezra Klein Show writes: “ON FREEDOM pierces right into the heart of America’s founding idea: What if there’s no such thing as freedom, at least not freedom as a state of enduring liberation? And more than that: What if we don’t want to be free? Perhaps that’s the great lie in the American dream: We’re taught to want freedom, but many of us recoil from its touch." Graywolf Press published the book on September 7, 2021
