Where the Stress Falls by Susan Sontag

Where the Stress Falls by Susan Sontag

Includes ardent pieces on writers from the author's own private canon - Machado de Assis, Barthes, W G Sebald, Borges, Tsvetaeva and Elizabeth Hardwick. This work shares her passions for film, dance, photography, painting, opera and theatre. It explores her own commitments to the work (and activism) of conscience and to the vocation of the writer.

'[The essays] invariably also leave one with the urgent desire to read the book or see the painting, play, dance she describesHer passion evokes that urgency...' Bookforum
