Maverick Voices Conversations with Political and Cultural Rebels

Maverick Voices offers in-depth interviews with prominent rebels stubbornly at work in the interlacing realms of politics, literature, film, art, and psychotherapy. These highly accomplished artists and activists, who hail from the United States, Europe, and Latin America, thrived in their fields against the odds, often gaining worldwide acclaim. They shake things up, shatter barriers, and scorn taboos. These revealing conversations probe the wellsprings of their work, struggles, and achievements. In the course of going their own stubborn way, they open horizons and doors for everyone else and appeal to the maverick at play or at bay in all of us.
