Styles of Radical Will: Susan Sontag

This collection of essays contains some of the most important pieces of criticism of the twentieth century, including the classics `The Aesthetics of Silence`, a brilliant account of language, thought and consciousness, and `Trip to Hanoi`, written during the Vietnam War. Here too is an excoriating account of America`s identity and future, a robust and surprising discussion of pornography and other richly rewarding writings on art, film, literature and politics.
