"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 was the author of four novels, including The Benefactor, Death Kit, The Volcano Lover, and In America, which won the 2000 National Book Award for fiction; a collection of stories, I, etcetera; several plays, including Alice in Bed; and nine works of essays, among them On Photography, which won the National Books Critics Circle Award for criticism. In 2001, Sontag was awarded the Jerusalem Prize for the body of her work. She died in New York City in 2004.

Picador presents a handsome, robust, big-format softback that will not crease or break its spine through many handlings - but the paper is of poor quality.
There is no need to present the author, so let us just see which essays are in this collection (her first one, originally published in 1966, says the editor).
First comes the famous "Against Interpretation": "...interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone". An interesting proposition, and well argumented, but I shall continue to read literary criticism.
"On style": "...style and content are indissoluble". In the practice of criticism, though, this is not so evident.
"The literary criticism of George Lukacs" shows the accomplishments and the flaws of this controversial great critic.
"The death of Tragedy" is no funeral, but the presentation of a new dramatic form: the metaplay.
"Going to theater, etc." provides the sheer pleasure of visiting some outstanding theatrical events with a very critical eye.
There is much more: more books, more theatre, some films, psychoanalysis, piety, general culture and the wild sixties.
The afterword "Thirty years later" provides some autocriticism and useful restatements.
