Here, she catches fragments of life on the fly, dramatizes her private griefs and fears, and lets characters take her where they will. The result is a collection of remarkable brilliance, versatility, and charm. Sontag's work has typically required time for people to catch up to it. These challenging works of literary art--made more urgent by the passage of years--await a new generation of readers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Sontag\u003c\/b\u003e (1933-2004) was the author of numerous works of nonfiction, including the groundbreaking collection of essays, \u003ci\u003eAgainst Interpretation\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 1966), and of four novels, including \u003ci\u003eIn America\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 2000), which won the National Book Award. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBenjamin Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of his family memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Hue and Cry at Our House\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eProust: The Search\u003c\/i\u003e in the Yale Jewish Lives series; \u003ci\u003eNaples Declared\u003c\/i\u003e, a travel memoir; and the award-winning novels, \u003ci\u003eTales Out of School\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Getting Even\u003c\/i\u003e.
