Samples of Uncompromising Will

«Samples of Uncompromising Will» (1969) — a collection of essays in which Susan Sontag expands the boundaries of the investigation undertaken in her famous book «Against Interpretation» (1966).
This collection includes texts on art, literature, cinema, and politics, rightly considered the most striking examples of critical thought of the 20th century. It includes the now-classic essays «The Aesthetics of Silence», a brilliant analysis of language, thought, and spirituality in art, and «A Trip to Hanoi», written in June-July 1968.
