We’re big fans of essays that combine cultural criticism with memoir, and Larissa Pham’s
Pop Song especially sings when the writer turns her eye to art and pop culture. In her debut book of nonfiction memoir by way of interconnected essays Pham interweaves a recounting of her life thus far with her thoughts on James Turrell, Anne Carson, Frank Ocean, and Agnes Martin (extra points for not mentioning Maggie Nelson in “Blue,” Pham’s essay on Martin). Through her sensitive, curious telling, Pham lobbies for the way in which art can help people learn more about themselves. ....

On finding freedom for every body

On finding freedom for every body

A protestor waved a Black Lives Matter flag in front a Nina Simone music video during demonstrations in Portland, Ore., last year. Author Olivia Laing captures a moment where Simone, in conversation with an interviewer, recognizes that the absence of fear is, for her, the embodiment of freedom.
Today, long after 9/11, freedom remains an overdetermined concept. Remember “Freedom Fries?” The word itself has been appropriated across the entire political spectrum. Too often it’s co-opted to bludgeon human rights in defense of so-called individual freedom as in the contemporary politicization of mask use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Defused of its meaning, writers like Olivia Laing in company with Louis Menand (“The Free World”) and Maggie Nelson (whose “On Freedom” is forthcoming this fall) aim to reclaim a more just and inclusive definition of the idea and word. ....

As a young psychoanalyst working in Vienna – a protégé of Sigmund Freud – he noticed how his patients carried their emotional pain physically. He could locate the tension in their bodies, and when he worked on their stiff and knotted muscles his patients would feel emotional as well as physical relief; they’d often experience a pleasurable rippling sensation he called “streaming”. ....
