Description

A reissue of Susan Sontag's classic first collection, featuring some of her most beloved writing--on art, life, camp, and criticism--that cemented her legacy as one of the brightest thinkers of, and beyond, her generation.

Susan Sontag is widely regarded as one of the most formidable, original, and influential writers of the last century. Against Interpretation is a modern classic, her first-ever collection and the work that launched her storied career when it was published in 1966. It has influenced generations of readers, and still contains some of her best-known essays, including "Notes on Camp," "Against Interpretation," and a dazzling range of, well, interpretations. Grand in scope--ranging from philosophy to film to religion to psychoanalysis--and short in length, this pocket-sized, pithy, and profound book introduces "a larger-than-life intellectual powerhouse" (Leslie Jamison).

Editorial Reviews

"Susan Sontag's essays are great interpretations, and even fulfillments, of what is really going on." --Carlos Fuentes

"A dazzling intellectual performance." --Vogue

"Susan Sontag is a writer of rare energy and provocative newness." --The Nation

"The theoretical portions of her book are delightful to read because she can argue so well. . . . Her ideas are consistently stimulating." --Commentary

"She has come to symbolize the writer and thinker in many variations: as analyst, rhapsodist, and roving eye, as public scold and portable conscience." --Time
