Susan Sontag’s Notes on Sleepaway Camp

Rite Gud

[Transcript here]

Many things in the world have not been named, and many things, even if they have been named, have never been described. One of these is the sensibility, unmistakably modern—a variant of sophistication, but hardly identical with—it that goes by the cult name of Sleepaway Camp. In today’s very special episode of Rite Gud, Magencubed joins us to examine that seminal queer text, auteur Robert Hiltzik’s 1983 film Sleepaway Camp.
