Sontags life and thought were no less promiscuous. She wrote deeply and engagingly about a range of subjects-theater, sex, politics, novels, torture, and illness-and courted celebrity and controversy both publicly and privately. Throughout her career, she not only earned adulation but also provoked scorn. Her living was the embodiment of scandal.</p><p>In this collection, Terry Castle, Nancy K. Miller, Wayne Koestenbaum, E. Ann Kaplan, and other leading scholars revisit Sontags groundbreaking life and work. <em>Against Interpretation</em>, "Notes on Camp," <em>Letter from Hanoi</em>, <em>On Photography</em>, <em>Illness as Metaphor</em>, <em>I, Etcetera</em>, and <em>The Volcano Lover</em>-these works form the center of essays no less passionate and imaginative than Sontag herself. Debating questions raised by the thinkers own images and identities, including her sexuality, these works question Sontags status as a female intellectual and her parallel interest in ambitious and prophetic fictional women; her ambivalence toward popular culture; and her personal and professional "scandals." Paired with rare photographs and illustrations, this timely anthology expands our understanding of Sontags images and power.</p>...4053961The Scandal of Susan Sontag592658https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-scandal-of-susan-sontag-9780231520454/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3218549/a04d75c5-af41-4928-93d7-14706919dab9.jpg?v=638744385101800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099780231520454_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_<p>Susan Sontag (19332004) spoke of the promiscuity of art and literature-the willingness of great artists and writers to scandalize their spectators through critical frankness, complexity, and beauty.
