This is acid bad. Hello and welcome to ACFM the home ofF. M. M. Mylburn,

and I'm joined as usual by my good friend Nadia Idol.

Hello.

And my other good friend Jeremy Gilbert's.

Hello.

Today we're going to do something a little bit special.

We're going to try something new to go along with our main episode on the topic of

cool. We're going to try a little reading group. We're

going to read together a text by Susan Sontag from 1964 called Notes on Camp.

If you want to go and search on the internet, grab it off the internet and follow along with us.

Well, pause the recording and do that now because we're going to go through it.

Aferism by Aferism, it's a nice little text

which consists of a number of aphorisms.

Let me just scroll to the bottom and see.

Yes, 58 aphorisms which we're going to go through perhaps not one by one

but we're going to talk about each in the form of a reading group. Perhaps before we do that we

should just have a tiny bit of a of context. Who can I go for that?

Who's got who always has an opinion on everything we talk about?

Jeremy and he have you can you give us a little bit of context on Susan

Sontag? Well Sontag's a critic basically. There's one or two generations in the

English speaking world when critics critics, generally, like critics of literature,

art, photography, film, have this huge cultural weight.
