Against Interpretation

This work is a selection from Susan Sontag's early writings about the arts and contemporary culture.

First published in 1966, the book quickly became a modern classic and has had enormous influence here and abroad.

As well as the title essay, 'On Style' and the famous 'Notes on Camp', the book includes discussion of such figures as Satre, Simone Weil, Genet, Brecht, Beckett, Artaud, and Goddard.
