First published in 1966, this celebrated book--Sontag's first collection of
essays--quickly became a modern classic, and has had an enormous influence in
America and abroad on thinking about the arts and contemporary culture. As well
as the title essay and the famous "Notes on Camp," "Against Interpretation"
includes original and provocative discussions of Sartre, Simone Weil, Godard,
Beckett, science-fiction movies, psychoanalysis, and contemporary religious
thinking. This edition features a new afterword by Sontag.
