"This collection of essays by Susan Sontag was the first book by her that I ever read. And I estimate I've read it at least a dozen times since. An incredible mind, poking at some very difficult issues in a style and depth that leaves you gasping and wanting more."
"Brilliant ideas. I listen and see her in transit thoughts, as if she is sharply thinking while doing other things, connected while walking. Very much alike the main essay of the book."
"Susan Sontag's collection of appreciations inspires me to read more, and to write better. I love the way she is able to say interesting and un-cliche things about authors that seem "untouchable" to regular people like myself. I'd recommend the title essay "Under the Sign of Saturn" first, as it is the most accessible."
"Seven essays dealing with the members of what appear to be a personal canon of thinkers and aesthetically-troubling figures for Sontag: Goodman, Artaud, Riefenstahl, Benjamin, Syberberg, Barthes, Canetti. Each essay shines with the fervor of barely-disguised intellectual autobiography, but this never comes off as pretentious: these thinkers vibrate with Sontag so keenly that the similarity can't help but emerge with eloquence."
