Where the Stress Falls è diviso in tre sezioni: la prima, "Reading", include pezzi ardenti su scrittori del canone privato di Sontag: Machado de Assis, Barthes, WG Sebald, Borges, Tsvetaeva ed Elizabeth Hardwick. Nella seconda, "Seeing", condivide le sue passioni per il cinema, la danza, la fotografia, la pittura, l'opera e il teatro. E nella sezione finale, "There and Here", Sontag esplora i suoi impegni per il lavoro (e l'attivismo) della coscienza e per la vocazione dello scrittore.
