Beschreibung
The body is a source of pleasure and of pain, at once hopelessly vulnerable and radiant with power. The author of The Lonely City takes readers on an ambitious investigation into the body in the twentieth century, using the life of the renegade psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich to chart an electrifying course through the great freedom movements of the era, from gay rights and sexual liberation to feminism and the civil-rights movement. An ambitious investigation into the body and its discontents.
