SUSAN SONTAG  WROTE THIS WHEN SHE SAW ALBERT CAMUS..

Susan Sontag ( 1933-2004 ) noted American author   wrote extensively about literature, cinema, photography ,  media, illness, war, human rights, and left-wing politics. Her essays and speeches drew backlash and controversy, and she has been called "one of the most influential critics of her generation". About Albert Camus , She wrote this :- 

"The cigarette dangles between the lips, whether he wears a trench-coat, a sweater and open shirt, or a business suit. It is in many ways an almost ideal face: boyish, good-looking, but not too good-looking, lean, rough, the expression both intense and modest. One wants to know this man."

Long back , I read her book ,'Styles of Radical Will' (1969). I felt impressed . It had a set of essays on film, literature, and politics . It is certainly a serious work. Through her incisive analysis, Sontag invites readers to reconsider the complexities of art and culture, challenging conventional perspectives and pushing the boundaries of critical thought.
