Against Interpretation by Susan Sontag

Against Interpretation by Susan Sontag

Sontag's title essay argues that the habit of asking what a work of art means — of translating it into content — is a way of avoiding the work itself, and that interpretation has become the revenge of the intellect upon art.

The collection also contains Notes on Camp, which invented a whole vocabulary, and essays on science fiction films, Simone Weil, Camus, happenings and the imagination of disaster. Sontag was thirty-three, taking popular culture as seriously as high art, and the essays still read as urgent.

The book that made Sontag a public intellectual, and a landmark of twentieth-century criticism.
