The Body of Each

Based on the life and ideas of psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, the author takes the reader on a journey through Weimar Berlin to the prisons of America during the McCarthy era, exploring the various shades of the directly understood "freedom" and the obstacles that arose in its path. Mixing facts, interpretations, and personal experience in his signature style, Lang fills his book with the voices of significant and complex figures of the last century, including Nina Simone, Christopher Isherwood, Andrea Dworkin, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag, and Malcolm X.
