Illness as Metaphor & AIDS and its Metaphors

Author(s): Susan Sontag

Culture & Ideas

"Aids and its Metaphors", the sequel, is obviously written in the light of the Aids crisis. Sontag states that our metaphors for Aids and its effects may be damaging; they suggest an apocalypse in personal and social terms, and therefore threaten not only the victims of the disease but all of society.
