Description
These two classic essays were the first works of criticism to break down the boundaries between 'high' and 'low' culture, and made Susan Sontag a literary sensation.
Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

"Camp" als unübersetzbares Adjektiv, das besondere Qualitäten, insbesondere von Kunstwerken beschreibt. Ein Must-read für Opernliebhaber: "Bellini is camp, Wagner is not." Es geht um Dandytum und dessen nacharistokratisches, massenkulturelles Aquivalent, um demonstrativ gezeigten schlechten Geschmack, um Exaltiertheit und Saturiertheit. Interessante Einsichten werden durchnumeriert und gleichsam aufaddiert, wodurch es gelegentlich leider an einer stringenten Argumentationslinie fehlt.
