书籍简介
‘An exemplary demonstration of the power of the intellect in the face of the lethal metaphors of fear’
Michael Ignatieff, New Republic
‘Whatever Sontag writes is passionate…hers is the satirist’s pity for our ignorance and folly’
Jonathan Keates, Observer
Sontag's book *Illness as Metaphor* contains two important essays, "Illness as Metaphor" and "AIDS and Its Metaphors." In these essays, Sontag reflects on and criticizes how diseases like tuberculosis, AIDS, and cancer gradually became metaphorical through societal interpretations, transforming from "merely a physical illness" into a moral judgment, and subsequently into a process of political oppression. The essays were initially serialized in *The New York Review of Books*, and due to their tremendous reception, they were compiled and published multiple times in the following years, becoming classic works of social criticism.
