	Artistic Eruption
		Burko’s volcano paintings develop more of a dialogue between abstraction and representation, but, in addition, their intrinsic drama is intellectually distanced.
		On the one hand, they are obviously linked in subject and method to an earlier geological series Burko did in the 1970s in which she flew over the Grand Canyon in a small plane and took photographs that she later translated into paint.
		Volcano lovers and fans of landscape painting, brace yourselves (but see the Locks show first).

	The Volcano Lover - New York Times
		When volcanoes explode they unleash a bit of the celestial heat from which Earth was formed.
		But until very recently, several hundred scientists who spend their lives peering into active volcanoes knew so little about them that it was next to impossible to predict an eruption.
		The problem of prediction became appallingly clear in 1985, when the Colombian volcano Nevado del Ruiz exploded, the heat melting millions of tons of glacier and burying 25,000 people in a river of mud.

	Amazon.ca: In America: Books: Susan Sontag (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As she did in The Volcano Lover, Sontag crafts a novel of ideas in which real figures from the past enact their lives against an assiduously researched, almost cinematically vivid background.
		There are few dramatic peaks and valleys in Maryna's story, but the historical backdrop--with pithy and evocative descriptions of American cities at the turn of the last century, cameo portraits of salty frontier types, and snippets of Western lore--supplies the vigor that the main plot often fails to engender.
		While this book does not exert the passionate energy of The Volcano Lover, it is a provocative study of a woman's life and the historical setting in which she moves.

		Not, of course, for the legion of readers who devoured her 1993 novel The Volcano Lover, nor for those who have waited nearly eight years for her latest production, In America.
		But the addictive pleasure of creating plots and characters does seem to have rendered this supremely cerebral author unfit for her original vocation: writing essays.
		Indeed, they're more fortified with abstract thought than many a work of nonfiction, and The Volcano Lover included long passages in which the essayist had clearly nudged the novelist out of the driver's seat.

	Interview with Susan Sontag
		She is an acerbic critic of American materialism and the Americans have made her a celebrity for it.
		It is interesting that in the last 10 years Susan has returned to writing fiction with The Volcano Lover and has just released her new novel In America.
		The modern really does begin in the late 18th century [setting of The Volcano Lover] and this new novel, In America, is set in post-Civil War United States.

		This was neither the story of a volcano lover nor the narrative of a collector.
		It was a somewhat fractured portrait of the volcano lover's wives.
		Lord Hamilton is in love with a volcano but completely bypasses,as we do, the much more relevant, violent and deadly force of the political upheaval.

	In Sequence: The Passionate Collector (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Volcano Lover is I think, Susan Sontag's most accessible book, and was a great pleasure to read.
		Both a romance and a historical novel, The Volcano Lover recounts the life of a character called simply The Cavaliere, modeled after Sir William Hamilton.
		The Cavaliere is a collector of antiquities, as was Sir William Hamilton, who once provided Sir Josiah Wedgwood with the Portland Vase, which served as an inspiration for his jasperware pottery.

		Focusing on the famous love triangle between British envoy Sir William Hamilton, his wife Emma and her lover Lord Nelson, Sontag's intellectual historical romance, a 10-week PW bestseller in cloth, paints an unconventional portrait of 18th-century society.
		Susan Sontag's THE VOLCANO LOVER (1992) is about Sir William Hamiliton, for decades British Embassador to the Court of Naples, his young wife Emma (who clearly was not of our class) and her lover, the Great Hero, Horatio Nelson.
		THE VOLCANO LOVER is also about Vesuvius, a still active volcano which periodically puts on a show, and about passion, acquisitiveness, beauty, romance, corruption and lots more.

	Regarding the Pain of Others
		But Regarding the Pain of Others is not simply a repetition of the earlier writings on photography; rather, it is a genuine return to the source of the energy driving Sontag's critical prose from the 1960s and '70s.
		But a longtime reader of Sontag notices that her discussion of Matthew Brady's images of the Civil War--or photojournalistic coverage of downtown New York, autumn 2001--land her in the middle of familiar questions about the history of sensibility in a culture shaped by the mechanical reproduction of imagery.
		Her most sustained and explicit set of reflections on that theme, more than a quarter of a century ago, explored the way the camera transformed vision and sensibility.

	Pele and the Prince
		She is known to have passionately seduced a prince (Lohiau) and is also known as lusty and fiery (of course!).
		The power of rising kundalini is expressed through the metaphor of fire, counterpoised with some references to the element of water.
		One day Pele, Goddess of the Volcano, leaves her resting place under the Kilauea Volcano and transforms herself into a mortal to be able to enjoy the human pleasures of swimming, surfing, eating fish, and playing on the beach.

		At its worst, the effect is that of an unintentional parody of Borges, lacking the wit or grace of the original.
		With The Volcano Lover (1992), she overcame the narrative anemia of her previous novels through a transfusion of full-blooded historical drama.
		Last year, In America recycled her bestselling formula (adulterous romance among sophisticated emigres in an exotic setting) while also revealing a formidable gift for the platitude.

		There are goddesses raging in the heart of the volcano, brides in veils marrying the sun god, sexy tango dancers in the devil's cocktail lounge, minister's daughters wailing blasphemy in churches, feverish, gun-toting, swampy Southern belles gone bad with pigs suckling on their breasts.
		She is in Hawaii, playing her piano at the edge of a volcano, embodying (with typical dualism) both the flame and the ash.

	'In America': Love as a Distraction That Gets in the Way of Art
		ith her last book, "The Volcano Lover" (1992), Susan Sontag, the onetime high priestess of the avant-garde, demonstrated that she could set aside modernist theorizing to create an enthralling historical novel.
		In retelling the story of the love affair of Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson, she managed to write a book that was at once an old-fashioned romance and an encyclopedic novel of ideas, a novel whose emotional wisdom and virtuosic story-telling formed a perfect bookend to the cerebral dazzle of her essays.
		The heroine of "In America," Maryna Zalewsky, we are told, is "Poland's most celebrated actress"; like Sir William Hamilton in "The Volcano Lover," she is what Sontag once dubbed a "saturnine personality" -- one of those "fiercely serious" souls "condemned to work" and possessed of "a self-conscious and unforgiving relation to the self."

		Like her last novel, The Volcano Lover, In America masquerades as historical fiction, flaunting the stuff of drama and romance.
		Based on stories in the author's family, this novel is about a wounded Civil War soldier who walks away from the hospital and finds his arduous way home to his sweetheart – a cultured young woman who has been forced to learn the brutal ways of farm life.
		The stories of the two lovers are intertwined; when they converge, they find that their worlds have changed radically, and so have they.

		I told her that I was a fan of her essays and she asked if I’d read The Volcano Lover, which she said was her favorite.
