Olivia Laing: Everybody

OL talks to Magnus Rena about her new book, Everybody: A Book about Freedom. It's a sweeping, collective biography of a dozen glamorous but stifled figures: Susan Sontag, Christopher Isherwood, Nina Simone, Wilhelm Reich, Malcom X, Marquis de Sade, Ana Mendieta, etc. What they all share is an urge to break through various inherited constraints and seek out that strange and slippery thing called freedom.    Edited by Magnus Rena    Music: Nina Simone, Mood Indigo    Cover image: Ana Mendieta, Imágen de Yágul, 1973
