“The Free World: Art and Thought in the Cold War”
The word “freedom” gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Menand wanted to find out, and in his new book he explores the concept of freedom and how its core value is still deeply entrenched within America’s culture. He speaks with Walter Isaacson about how freedom has been expressed in the best possible way through music, art, and literature.
