Susan Sontag (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1990, this is the first book-length study of Susan Sontag: essayist and analyst if culture, author of `Notes on Camp¿ and Illness as Metaphor, novelist, reviewer, and filmmaker. Sohnya Sayres looks into the foundations and directions of Sontag¿s imposing work and in doing so discovers a unity of design and subject that Sontag has only recently acknowledged to have been an ambition all along. A comprehensive analysis of the work of a remarkable intellectual, this title will be of value to any student of American modernism and literary life.
