At the Same Time | Susan Sontag

One of the most important thinkers and writers of the twentieth century, Susan Sontag's pathbreaking first collection of essays, AGAINST INTERPRETATION, introduced her as a major figure of our culture in 1966. AT THE SAME TIME was written during the last years of Sontag's life. These sixteen essays discuss the freedom of literature, courage and resistance and fearlessly address the dilemmas of post-9/11 America, from the degradation of our political rhetoric to the appalling torture of Abu Ghraib.
