Reviews for In the Archive of Longing: Susan Sontag´s Critical Modernism
Mitrano attends closely to matters of perception and style with the effect of perforating, through the conjoined forces of the critical practice depicted and the one at work in this book, the narrow confines of theory that persist to this day.
