Against Interpretation

Sontag's first collection of essays, from the title piece, which asks critics to attend to form and the senses rather than dig for hidden meanings, to the notes on camp and pieces on film, theatre and new novels. Some of it is bound to its decade, but its best essays still set the agenda for writing about modern art.
