I read a short story called Debriefing by Susan Sontag and for a moment I was in NY city, lonely and depressed, on edge. I really enjoyed this short piece. Her writing styIe, rambling, using short clips and held together with solid descriptions (especially in the story called Unguided Tour) painted vividly the near panic and desolation of the narrator's condition.

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312420102, Paperback)

In eight stories, this singular collection of short fiction written over the course of ten years explores the terrain of modern urban life. In reflective, telegraphic prose, Susan Sontag confronts the reader with exposed workings of an impassioned intellect in narratives seamed with many of the themes of her essays—the nature of knowing, our relationship with the past, and the future in an alienated present.
