جزییات کتاب
Sontag felt compelled to write a sequel that would counter the almost universal labeling of AIDS as a "plague." AIDS and its Metaphors aims to free both patients and panicked population from the tyranny of a set of meanings that stand not for medical reality, rather carry the burden of fears about the future. Now, for the first time, these two brilliant works are being published in one paperback volume. Brimming with humane and original ideas about disease and the modern condition, they are compassionate exhortations, a liberating event.
"Taken together, the two essays are an exemplary demonstration of the power of the intellect in the face of the lethal metaphors of fear." —The Nation
