"These short stories establish Sontag's originality . . . her unique vision, her success with experiments in the form . . . Sontag makes a wonderful stew of the past, the life caught in memory and imagination, serves it all up lavishly laced with silences, and provides us with a gourmand's series of short courses." --Doris Grumbach, Los Angeles Times
"The eight stories in I, etcetera reflect a vital and restless imagination cooking away in several directions . . . There is an abundance of those startling ironies and wry, quirky jokes that make Susan Sontag so tempting to quote . . . [The Book] possesses its own kind of spirit and nerve, and it takes some magnificent chances." --Anne Tyler, The New Republic
"The book not only confronts and explores the life which is traveled rather than lives, it records a life fully lives in the face of all such doubts. No pain or horror is avoided, no occasion for despair is ducked . . . 'Debriefing, ' the most moving story in the book, [is] surely a small masterpiece." --Michael Wood, The New York Review of Books
"Susan Sontag's collection of short stories is a pleasure to read--inventive, witty, intelligent . . . She embraces our language and the accumulation of our culture. She hears everything--echoes of dead rhetoric; glorious clichés that deaden our response to castles, sunsets, bays--and hears everywhere an elevation of the daily commonplace in the grand tour that must never end." --The Saturday Review
"The story 'Unguided Tour' is Miss Sontag's apotheosis as a fiction writer . . . Susan Sontag, the literary and social critic, is entirely at home in fiction, is exhilarated, even transfigured by it." --Anatole Broyard, The New York Times
