This collection of sixteen essays and speeches by Susan Sontag (1933-2004), prepared by her in the last years of her life, is retrospectively perceived as a creative testament. Discussions about beauty, photography, artistic pursuits of Victor Serge, Leonid Tsypkin, Anna Bunty, Halldor Laxness, Rilke's correspondence with Pasternak and Tsvetaeva are organically connected with the perception of the tragedy of September 11 and the war in Iraq, leading to one of the largest and most important themes of the American thinker and writer: the responsibility and tasks of literature in the twentieth century. A deep and creative reading of other authors' works, adherence to high moral criteria, and multidimensional assessments of what is happening "everywhere and at the same time" allow us to consider this collection a masterpiece of Sontag's late period.
