‘A beautiful, strange and sprawling meditation on the relationship between the body and freedom.’ New Statesman The key to all this movement is that it also invites us to participate in the conversation.’ LA Times The method of Everybody framed as an extended conversation between the author and her sources, in which De Sade blurs into Reich, who blurs into Sontag, and back again. to spend time with Laing as she works through a topic, finding the unlikeliest of connective ideas wherever she looks, is to come away with a view of the world that-if not exactly clearer-is strange and rich and profound.’ LitHub ‘We are lucky to be living in the time of Olivia Laing. Laing writes in great looping sentences, both precise and evocative.’ NPR ‘A fleet, gracious tour of bodily distress and joy. Everybody should be required reading for anyone who cares about not just where we are now, but the future.’ Washington Post
‘A quintessential book for the precarious moment we’ve found ourselves in. ‘It will delight new and loyal readers alike…an ambitious, absorbing achievement that will make your brain hum’ Evening Standard ‘A dizzying ride…both timely and beguiling’ The Sunday Times ‘Radically subversive and learned’ The Times Literary Supplement ‘Laing is a truly thrilling thinker, with an impressively roving intellectual eye.’ Telegraph Line by line and thought by thought, Laing writes with surgical discipline.’ New Yorker ‘ Everybody possesses a looseness, richness, and abundance of originality…One does not expect a political study to perform such sharp close readings of art and literature, or to describe emotions so elegantly. Intensely moving, vital and artful.’ Guardian ‘Laing’s impassioned commitment to the promise of bodily freedom, of every body’s right to move and feel and love without harming or being harmed, shines through every sentence of the book. In other words, she is among the most significant voices of our time.’ Financial Times ‘Laing’s gift for weaving big ideas together with lyrical prose sets her alongside the likes of Arundhati Roy, John Berger and James Baldwin.
