ON FREEDOM by Maggie Nelson received a rave review in The Boston Globe. Alden Jone writes: “ON FREEDOM proves that Nelson continues to do us a great service as a critic, which is to herself digest, and sometimes wrestle with, copious amounts of literature and theory…to integrate this material into a relatively short book, in an accessible, felicitous voice all Nelson’s own. There are no hot takes in ON FREEDOM. While hot takes are satisfying, they rarely finish the job. If you want to get your hands around something as vast and slippery as freedom, you are going to have to get comfortable moving through an ideological briar patch. ON FREEDOM offers navigation tips, but Nelson’s call to action is a journey that readers must take on their own.” Nelson also sat down for interviews with The Philosopher, The Yale Review, and The Believer. The Believer writes: "[O]ver the last decade, Maggie Nelson’s writing has become one of the guiding intellectual lights for artists of all disciplines…Like much of her writing, [ON FREEDOM] is a document of Nelson’s love of reading, and it brims with fascinating morsels of knowledge gathered from across disciplines, especially philosophy and contemporary art…[Nelson] remain[s] a sovereign thinker.” Graywolf Press published the book on September 7, 2021.
