The book offers a lively and insightful exploration of Susan Sontag and Pauline Kael, two contrasting cultural critics of the twentieth century. It delves into their distinct styles and approaches: Kael's exuberant, emotional prose versus Sontag's formal, introspective writing. Seligman highlights their shared backgrounds while emphasizing their differing temperaments, particularly regarding moral concerns and self-revelation. This engaging study not only celebrates their literary contributions but also elevates criticism to an art form, making it a significant work in its own right.
