La coleccion de relatos de ficcion de una de las intelectuales y escritoras mas importantes del siglo XX.
Susan Sontag suele ser recordada ante todo por sus brillantes ensayos, escritos inquisitivos, analiticos y valientes, adelantados siempre a su tiempo. Pero aunque su produccion ensayistica fue mas extensa y frecuente, y solo de forma intermitente se asomo al territorio de la ficcion, es precisamente en los cuentos donde la escritora mostro su lado mas intimo: "la sala de estar esta bien para los ensayos, pero los relatos hay que escribirlos en el dormitorio", solia decir.

Declaracion reune la totalidad de la obra cuentistica de Susan Sontag. Escrita a lo largo de casi tres decadas, la diversidad de estilos constituye uno de sus mayores atractivos: la alegoria, la parabola, el diario, el cuento autobiografico, 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 podia hacer en el ensayo.

Al volumen de relatos Yo, etcetera, publicado originalmente en 1978, se anaden hoy piezas posteriores, entre las que se cuentan joyas como "Peregrinacion", en la que una Sontag adolescente conoce a Thomas Mann en su casa de Los Angeles, o el soberbio "Asi vivimos ahora", relato en el que da cuenta de la devastadora crisis que trajo consigo la irrupcion del sida en determinados circulos sociales. Estos y otros extraordinarios relatos pasan pues a formar parte del imprescindible legado de una de las escritoras e intelectuales mas 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.
