'Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.'
Marginally of its time but a great read for pure enjoyment and some excellent opera and Art Nouveau chat. On that note, I have to disagree with Sontag that neither opera nor ballet can 'easily do justice to the complexity of human nature'. That said, she's right that Il trovatore is peak camp.

Dear Matija,
this was an interesting read on the themes of camp, art and how art changes in the ever changing human environment. Even though many of the references went over my head, I still found it interesting to see how many things stayed the same or worsened since the sixties. Be campy!
