"This is a great book—flawed, impossible, infuriating, and moving . . . but he has accomplished in this extraordinary book something finer than mere polemic. En route to his last painful discovery, Barthes takes the reader on an exquisitely rendered, lyrical journey into the heart of his own life and the medium he came to love, a medium that flirts constantly with the 'intractable reality' of the human condition."—Douglas Davis, Newsweek

"Sontag reappraises many of the opinions she laid out in her well known 1977 book On Photography. That earlier volume gave us a searing indictment of photography, arguing that it limits 'experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir' . . . [Regarding the Pain of Others] focuses on how we look at photographs of calamities and the moral implications of such observation . . . A nuanced [and] revisionist coda of sorts to On Photography . . . Sontag is to be commended for acknowledging how her thinking has changed over the years."—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
