Esperava muito mais da Sontag. Nunca lhe tinha lido a ficção e não me deslumbrou.
O primeiro texto é soberbo, sobretudo porque não estou certa de que seja o relato de um evento real (li os diários dela contemporâneos desse episódio e nem uma só entrada sobre o assunto...). A partir daí é sempre a descer com ligeiras e pontuais subidas.

4,5/5 - absolutely brilliant collection of stories. All different in style, topics, characters and atmosphere. Some more light, some - more complicated.
My favorite are “The Dummy” and “Baby”, kept me on the edge of my seat

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Anything after Proust is going to be a disappointment but thought these were absolute garbage when I read the first few. I persevered because it’s Susan Sontag and there were some interesting common threads and insights linking them together. The last couple are really good. I loved the ‘Baby’ story.
