Description: The Volcano Lover; A Romance by Susan Sontag (1992, Trade Paperback). This is the first paperback edition of the book. It is a historical novel about Emma and William Hamilton, and Emma's subsequent affair with Lord Nelson. It is brilliantly, provocatively written. (From the Prologue: "It is the entrance to a flea market. No charge. Admittance free. Sloppy crowds. Vulpine, larking. Why enter? What do you expect to see? I'm seeing. I'm checking on what's in the world. What's left. What's discarded. What's no longer cherished. What had to be sacrificed. What someone thought might interest someone else. But it's rubbish. If there, here, it's already been sifted through. But there may be something valuable, there. Not valuable, exactly. But something I would want. Want to rescue. Something that speaks to me. To my longings...") The book itself is in like new condition. (Please see photos.)
