Susan Sontag Quotes

This Philistinism Of Interpretation Is More Rife In Literature Than In Any Other Art. For Decades Now, Literary Critics Have Understood It To Be Their Task To Translate The Elements Of The Poem Or Play Or Novel Or Story Into Something Else. Sometimes A Writer Will Be So Uneasy Before The Naked Power Of His Art That He Will Install Within The Work Itself - Albeit With A Little Shyness, A Touch Of The Good Taste Of Irony - The Clear And Explicit Interpretation Of It. Thomas Mann Is An Example Of Such An Overcooperative Author. In The Case Of More Stubborn Authors, The Critic Is Only Too Happy To Perform The Job.
