Published in 1977, Sontag's seminal work, the winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award, remains uncannily prescient and profoundly incisive to this day. With her searching eye and refusal to buckle to received wisdom, Sontag presents a rousing critique of the functions of imagery--to seduce, to advertise, to evoke, to commemorate, to persuade, to deceive--across six formidable essays. The result is a complex portrait of the contradictory ways we use imagery to manufacture reality and authority, conveyed by her singular depth of analysis, that will endure for decades to come.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"On Photography | Susan Sontag | Paperback | 9780374622442 | New | Essays 1752014","offer_id":49555915931800,"sku":"1752014","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71CPQB9lYVL.jpg?v=1785013328","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/on-photography-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
