Art Book Club

Join us every month in the Clocktower Café for a relaxed, friendly discussion on an art-related book as part of our Croydon Art Collection: Matching Masterpieces Exhibition.

For our next session, we will be reading Susan Sontag’s Against Interpretation.

Join the Whatsapp Community or simply turn up.

About the book:

Against Interpretation was Susan Sontag's first collection of essays and is a modern classic. Originally published in 1966, it has never gone out of print and has influenced generations of readers all over the world. It includes some of Sontag's best-known works, among them 'On Style', 'Notes on 'Camp'', and the titular essay 'Against Interpretation', where Sontag argues that modern cultural conditions have given way to a new critical approach to aesthetics.
