Notes on Susan Sontag



Susan Sontag's 'Notes on Camp' was a revelation that echoes down through time. An essay of observations on 'camp' sensibility and taste, a way of seeing and enjoying things, not the velvet jacketed rarified world of the modern day 'dandy' but a nod to the seemingly tastelessness of the underclass, the way a John Waters film makes one feel in the know, happy to be part of a cool inside joke the stuffy square people just don't get...
Celebrate her birthday the next January 16th by renting a low-budget B-movie that makes you groan and laugh and be glad you can appreciate the 'other' side of our culture.
