On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint by Maggie Nelson

5.0

Oh my word, just the last lines - until then I want to be in, all in - all heart, no escape (ie living, committed to life, not living merely until the death march ends). Ah, what beauty. Everything here is timely, and yet has so much universality - meditations on care, what makes a good life, what true freedom even is. I haven't seen a work of this intellectual magnitude hit in a while that I had high hopes for commercially. I have high hopes for this one.
