✨Notes on Camp by Susan Sontag
A ground-breaking long-form essay, published in 1964, on what the descriptor "Camp" actually means. This has been credited with launching Sontag's career as one of the most influential critics and cultural analysts of her generation.
Some of the examples of Camp she gives are hilarious - "Stag movies seen without lust" or just "Tiffany lamps" - but I loved the line "I am strongly drawn to Camp, and almost as strongly offended by it."
It's a beautiful, fun, lively essay that still reads well today, 60 years after it was first published.

RIP Susan Sontag, you would have loved the "The hunger games" books
