Description and Table of Contents

Description

This second volume in Library of America's definitive Sontag edition gathers all the collected essays and speeches from the last quarter-century of the most influential critic of her time. Brilliant works whose subjects range from the AIDS epidemic, 9/11, the Iraq war, and the perverse allure of Fascism to painting, dance, music, film, and scintillating literary portraits of such writers as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, Antonin Artaud, Machado de Assis, Jorge Luis Borges, Nadine Gordimer, Joseph Brodsky, W. G. Sebald, Marina Tsvetayeva, and Robert Walser.
