      abstract = {In 1978, while recovering from cancer, Susan Sontag wrote  Illness as metaphor, the celebrated essay on the invented  and often punitive uses of illness in our culture. It was  not surprising that a decade later, after the advent of  AIDS, Sontag felt compelled to write a sequel that would  counter the almost universal labeling of AIDS as a  "plague". Published together in one volume these works are  brimming with humane and original ideas about disease and  the modern condition.},
