"One cheats himself as a human being, if one has respect only for the style of high culture".
With reverent seriousness and a wink and a nod to academic rigor, Sontag charmingly lays out her treatise on Camp. She acknowledges as she does so, that by attempting to define the sensibility, she is flattening or "betraying" it somehow. But what is camp if not the flattening of all things into revelatory artifice? Truly a delightful read.
