Mavericks may not make the world go around, but they do make it an
infinitely more interesting place. Maverick Voices offers in-depth
interviews with prominent iconoclasts stubbornly at work in the
interlacing realms of politics, literature, film, art, and
psychotherapy. These highly accomplished people, who hail from the
USA, Europe, and Latin America, thrived in their fields against the
odds, often gaining worldwide acclaim. They are exemplars of a rare
breed of fiercely independent, creative, and committed artists and
activists who shake things up, shatter barriers, and scorn taboos.
These conversations probe the wellsprings of their work, their
struggles, and their achievements. Whether defying a death squad,
exposing government lies, challenging censors, writing graphic
accounts of how war reallly feels, puncturing cherished national
myths, making zesty, sexy, crazy films, or finding ingenious ways
to heal deeply disturbed kids, they contribute to a more
fascinating and humane world and they appeal to the maverick at
play or at bay in all of us.
