Under The Sign Of Saturn by Susan Sontag

Saturn is the "planet of detours and delays" according to Walter Benjamin, one of the six literary figures under examination in Susan Sontag's latest collections of essays. Sontag-understands the saturnine mentality- the slowness, the attentiveness, the patience, the melancholy need to work, the solitude, the complexity of excellence and stamina, Sontag's criticism is a kind of spiritual autobiography-it is sufficient to confirm not only her excellence but her stature as one of America's foremost critics' Washington Post
Susan Sontag is the author of four novels, The Benefactor, Death Kit, The Volcano Lover and In America which won the National Book Award, 2000. She is also the author of I, etcetera, a collection of stories; several plays, including Alice in Bed; and five works of non-fiction, among them On Photography and Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors. She lives in New York City.
