This is a selection from Susan Sontag's early writings about the arts and contemporary culture. The book quickly became a modern classic and has had enormous influence here and abroad.
As well as the title essay, 'On Style', and the famous "Notes On Camp', the book includes discussions of such figures as Sartre, Simone Weil, Georg Lukacs, Levi-Strauss, Artaud, Genet, Brecht, Beckett, Bresson and Godard.
