About

Susan Sontag Synopsis

Susan Sontag was an incandescent presence in American culture, whether as essayist, fiction writer, filmmaker, or political activist. As a critic, she became the most provocative and influential voice of her time. More than a commentator on her era, she helped shape it.

Here for the first time is Library of America's authoritative two-volume edition of Susan Sontag's brilliant essays in deluxe collector's boxed set. Includes 9 complete collections and six uncollected essays. Volume I: Essays of the 1960s & 70s; Against Interpretation; Styles of Radical Will; On Photography; Illness as Metaphor; Uncollected Essays.

Volume II:

  • Later Essays
  • Under the Sign of Saturn
  • AIDS and Its Metaphors
  • Where the Stress Falls
  • Regarding the Pain of Others
  • At the Same Time. Each cloth hardcover volume comes complete with helpful annotation, detailed textual essays, and a chronology of Sontag's remarkable life and career prepared by her son, the writer David Rieff
