Where the Stress Falls: Essays
Susan Sontag
Synopsis "Where the Stress Falls: Essays"
Thirty-five years after her first collection, the now classic Against Interpretation, America's most important essayist has chosen more than forty longer and shorter pieces from the last twenty years. Divided into three sections, the first Reading includes ardent pieces on writers from her own private canon - Machado de Assis, Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Borges, Tsvetaeva, and Elizabeth Hardwick. In the second, Seeing she shares her passions for film, dance, photography, painting, opera, and theater. And in the final section, There and Here Sontag explores her own commitments to the work (and activism) of conscience and to the vocation of the writer.
