Overview
La mejor manera de conocer a Sontag es leerla.
La selección definitiva de su obra
Este volumen reúne la obra imprescindible de una de las escritoras e intelectuales más trascendentales de la segunda mitad siglo XX. El crítico cultural e historiador David Rieff, hijo de la autora, ha antologado los escritos que conforman este libro basado, entre otros criterios, en lo que la propia Susan Sontag consideraba su obra más perdurable, así como en el eco que podrían suscitar algunos de ellos entre los lectores de la tercera década del siglo XXI. Los estudios, ensayos, artículos, relatos y fragmentos de las novelas y de los diarios se conjugan en esta compilación para ofrecer el retrato más sólido y fidedigno de su ejemplar y controvertida trayectoria.
Destaca la incorporación de «El Tercer Mundo de las mujeres», nunca antes recogido en libro. Escrito hace medio siglo, analiza situaciones sociales y políticas feministas de permanente relevancia. En esta edición se incluyen asimismo fragmentos inéditos de los diarios de Sontag, sobre el sitio de Sarajevo o sobre la gestación de sus últimas novelas, que arrojan nueva luz sobre su sensibilidad y pensamiento.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The best way to know Sontag is to read her words.
The ultimate selection of her works.
This volume compiles the essential works of one of the most memorable and intellectual writers of the second half of the twentieth century. Cultural critic and historian David Rieff, the author’s son, has put together an anthology based—among other criteria—in what the own Susan Sontag considered her most enduring work, as well as the echo that some of those words might provoke among readers in the third decade of the twenty-first century. Studies, essays, articles, tales, and fragments of her novels and journals come together in this edition to present the most solid and accurate portrait of her exemplary and controversial career.
The addition of “The Third World of Women” stands out, never before included in a book. Written half a century ago, it analyzes social situations and feminist policies still relevant today. Some unpublished fragments of Sontag’s journals are likewise included in this compilation, commenting on the siege of Sarajevo or the genesis of her last novels, casting a new light over her sensibility and mind.
