Against Interpretation and Other Essays
Sontag, Susan. Delta Books, 1966 (2nd Printing). Softbound. 'Real art has the capacity to make us nervous,' writes Sontag with her typical wit and insight. This edition's far-out typography affirms this assertion: while comfort can be found in the Futura-inspired typeface and the way it connects the outer book with the inner, aggressive innovations pop up to unsettle the reader—not just the cover title with its spirals and dotted counters, but also the yin-yang dingbats, the tiny chapter headings centered over the angular initials, and the altitude of the epigraphs.
Spine is square and tight, but has some sunning and very subtle cosmetic creasing. Former owner stamp to the half-title, but interior is else clean and unmarked. Light to moderate edge-wear. Some toning to the pages. 304 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
