Death Kit A Novel

"What is personal guilt? What is personal innocence? How much of either has any individual man the right to claim? 'Death Kit' ventilates these issues at the beginning, and advances...to speculation on the manner in which national misdeeds (the murder of small nations) drain meaning from individual acts of turpitutde....Before the tale is done, Miss Sontag probes the relations between sex and violence, and even ventures--partly because one of her principals is blind--to confront those riddling issues of perception, objectification and freedom that are teased in the plays and philosophical writings of Jean-Paul Sartre. But that the kid in question has accessories doesn't mean it amounts to an omnibus tool....Miss Sontag's spirit and intelligence have braced people before and will do so again; just at this moment she is...less deadly than dull."Sontag, Susan is the author of 'Death Kit A Novel' with ISBN 9780312420116 and ISBN 0312420110.
