About the Book

La colección de relatos de ficción de una de las intelectuales y escritoras más importantes del siglo XX.


Susan Sontag suele ser recordada ante todo por sus brillantes ensayos, escritos inquisitivos, analíticos y valientes, adelantados siempre a su tiempo. Pero aunque su producción ensayística fue más extensa y frecuente, y solo de forma intermitente se asomó al territorio de la ficción, es precisamente en los cuentos donde la escritora mostró su lado más íntimo: «la sala de estar está bien para los ensayos, pero los relatos hay que escribirlos en el dormitorio», solía decir.

Declaración reúne la totalidad de la obra cuentística de Susan Sontag. Escrita a lo largo de casi tres décadas, la diversidad de estilos constituye uno de sus mayores atractivos: la alegoría, la parábola, el diario, el cuento autobiográfico, el documental o la escena teatral son algunas de las formas de las que la escritora se sirve para atrapar fragmentos de vida y dar respuesta a sus propios miedos y aflicciones, algo que no podía hacer en el ensayo.

Al volumen de relatos Yo, etcétera, publicado originalmente en 1978, se añaden hoy piezas posteriores, entre las que se cuentan joyas como «Peregrinación», en la que una Sontag adolescente conoce a Thomas Mann en su casa de Los Ángeles, o el soberbio «Así vivimos ahora», relato en el que da cuenta de la devastadora crisis que trajo consigo la irrupción del sida en determinados círculos sociales. Estos y otros extraordinarios relatos pasan pues a formar parte del imprescindible legado de una de las escritoras e intelectuales más importantes del siglo XX.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A collection of one of our most powerful intellectual's short fiction

Debriefing collects all of Susan Sontag's shorter fiction, a form she turned to intermittently throughout her writing life. The book ranges from allegory to parable to autobiography and shows her wrestling with problems not assimilable to the essay, her more customary mode. Here she catches fragments of life on the fly, dramatizes her private griefs and fears, lets characters take her where they will. The result is a collection of remarkable brilliance, versatility, and charm. Sontag's work has typically required time for people to catch up to it. These challenging works of literary art ― made more urgent by the passage of years ― await a new generation of readers. This is an invaluable record of the creative output of one of the most inquisitive and analytical thinkers of the twentieth century at the height of her power.
