The famous essay on camp is in this edition as well as wonderful essays on Godard and Beckett. Sontag was an amazing essayist, a really great cultural critic. A walking and breathing treasure of knowledge and clear thinking. One would think she would have loved Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ -- but then maybe not. For sure she would be arguing with everyone on this site. What fun!
But seriously even if one disagrees with her work, she is important just for her taste in literature among other things.

Taste was in fact the most important thing. Her insights weren't always of the first freshness. Her style wasn't as limpid as she'd hoped. But the woman had taste for days. Anything she wrote about was worth getting to know.

Yes, and her essay on camp was a fun read. Perhaps the best introduction for any Sontag novice.
