Benefactor

Author: Sontag, Susan
Paperback
Picador USA
ISBN: 0312420129

The Benefactor, Susan Sontag's first book and first novel, originally published in 1963, introduced a unique writer to the world. In the form of a memoir by a latter-day Candide named Hippolyte, The Benefactor leads us on a kind of psychic Grand Tour, in which Hippolyte's violently imaginative dream life becomes indistinguishable from his surprising experiences in the real world. Sontag's novel supplies a fascinating, knowing, acerbic portrait of a certain bohemian demi-monde that flourished in France until quite recently. More importantly, The Benefactor is a novel about ideas --especially religious ideas -- unlike any other: funny, acrobatic, disturbing, profound.
