Recenzje

“Susan Sontag’s public scholarship has been woefully under-read, and has a great deal to tell us in our current society and moment. Dr. Fulk’s book offers an important lens on this vital voice and set of essays, and should advance both Sontag studies and American Studies in significant ways as a result.” Ben Railton, Professor of English Studies, Fitchburg State University
