Understanding Susan Sontag by Carl Rollyson

Understanding Susan Sontag by Carl Rollyson

In Understanding Susan Sontag, Carl Rollyson not only provides an introduction to her essays, novels, plays, films, diaries, and uncollected work, since the publication of her diaries, he now has a lens through which to reevaluate classic texts, providing a renewed sense of her importance and impact.

Rollyson's volume stands as the best work yet to involve Sontag with the fictive innovations of her era
