I absolutely agree. Sontag's labyrinthine examples were very confusing and more than anything made me want to check out some of these works to check on Sontag's assertions. I don't know about anyone else, but I had never heard of "Story of O" or any of the other pornographic works that she referenced before reading this article and I felt like Sontag should have used some more accessible works if she really wanted her notion that pornography can be literature to be taken seriously. I personally think that this is a very flawed essay and I expected more from it given the buildup given to it in class.
