A review by bethniamh
Notes on 'Camp' by Susan Sontag

I picked up this short, small book after reading the last essay in It Came from the Closet, which used this book’s titular essay as its basis. While short, this is a dense read, with passages requiring focus to parse and fully appreciate the ideas presented therein; I’d like to go through it again with a pencil and annotate lines I find particularly striking. The book also features a second essay dissecting the divide between the literary-artistic and the scientific, which was an interesting read following the first essay. This book was also a good example of why I find a page goal much more representative of my reading habits than a book goal; this counted as a whole book read, despite only being 64 smaller-than-average pages.
