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

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

My first Maggie Nelson book and surely not my last. I think Nelson is quite brilliant and that made me want more from this at times. I really enjoyed the first two “songs” (though the irony of calling each chapter a song vs their very academic tone isn’t lost on me) but the second two felt a little bit more meandering to me; the connection to freedom was a bit more loose, as were her arguments. I didn’t always agree with Nelson, but I appreciate that for making me reflect more.
