The Benefactor, Susan Sontag's first novel, published in 1963, introduces the world to a unique writer. The novel, structured as a memoir signed by Hippolyte, a modern Candide, takes us through a psychological journey where the protagonist's dreams intertwine with his experiences in the real world. Sontag offers a bitter portrait of a certain type of bohemia that flourished in France, while presenting a novel of ideas that is fun, acrobatic, disturbing, and profound. Hannah Arendt describes Sontag as an important writer who transforms dreams and thoughts into a real story.
