Features: As Benjamin said, Saturn is "a planet of and procrastination," and Sontag used the term "Saturnine temperament" to describe the spiritual demeanor of thinkers like Benjamin. In addition to Benjamin, this collection also provides in-depth commentary on the works of thinkers and artists such as Artaud, Barthes, and Canetti, whom Sontag regarded as her role models and peers. It vividly portrays their spiritual portraits, and as a result, Sontag's critiques of others also become a form of spiritual autobiography for herself.
