Description

"Each of the chapters in Reading Susan Sontag is devoted to one of her books and is divided into three sections: synopsis, Ms. Sontag's own views of her work, and critical commentary. Thus it moves from basic knowledge to more sophisticated interpretation.". "A glossary at the end of the book defines the terms and figures of speech that characterize Ms. Sontag's essays and may inhibit readers who do not share her formidable command of world culture. It also traces her use of allusions to other writers from one essay to the next." "In all, readers will find Reading Susan Sontag to be an enormously useful companion to the work of one of our major writers."--BOOK JACKET.
