Hardcover. Condition: Good. This posthumous volume gathers sixteen essays and addresses written in the last years of Susan Sontag's life. A consummately fearless thinker, Sontag's writings published here reflect on the personally liberating nature of literature, her deepest commitment, and on political activism and resistance to… injustice as an ethical duty. She considers the works of writers from the little-known Soviet novelist Leonid Tsypkin to the greats, such as Nadine Gordimer. Sontag also addresses the dilemmas of post-9/11 America, from the degradation of our political rhetoric to the appalling torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. 224p.
