Description

This collection of essays by Susan Sontag is a landmark work of 20th-century criticism, featuring some of her most influential and thought-provoking writings.

Among the pieces included are 'The Aesthetics of Silence', a profound exploration of language, thought, and consciousness, as well as 'Trip to Hanoi', written during the Vietnam War. Sontag also delivers a searing critique of America's identity and future, and offers a provocative discussion on pornography.

These essays are richly rewarding, covering topics such as art, film, literature, and politics. They offer a unique perspective on some of the most significant issues of the time, making this collection an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, literary criticism, or American studies.
