Description
A collection of provocative essays that challenge conventional thinking, Against Interpretation and Other Essays is a seminal work by Susan Sontag. First published in 1966, this Penguin Modern Classics edition features some of Sontag's most influential writings, including 'Notes on Camp' and 'Against Interpretation'.
These essays explore a wide range of topics, from the intersection of high and low art forms to contemporary religious thought, psychoanalysis, and science-fiction movies. Sontag's incisive critiques and impassioned discussions have made a lasting impact on generations of readers and the field of cultural criticism.
Originally published in 1966, this collection has remained in print and continues to be widely read and studied today. If you're interested in Sontag's work, you may also want to consider her other essays, such as those collected in On Photography, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
