Writer and critic Susan Sontag (1933–2004) achieved fame for her brilliant essays on art. But this is not the only literary genre explored by the leading intellectual of the 20th century. Her collection, "Report," is the most comprehensive collection of Sontag's short stories, translated into Russian in their entirety for the first time. This thinker's short fiction ranges from allegory to parable to autofiction. She boldly experiments with hybrid genres, pastiche, and elements of fantasy, cleverly incorporating autobiographical material into her narratives. While essays are a means of expressing thoughts for Sontag, short stories are a cry from the heart. Their plots are typically contradictory, and their situations are sometimes insoluble. Trying to understand profound experiences—the death of a father, the suicide of a friend, a serious diagnosis—she composes unique reports within the book's pages. These multifaceted, unexpected, and deeply personal texts reveal a new side of Sontag's talent.
