Relative to The Recognitions, Sontag upon being accused of plagiarism said:

All of us who deal with real characters in history transcribe and adopt 
original sources in the original domain. I've used these sources and 
I've completely transformed them. I have these books. I've looked at 
these books. There's a larger argument to be made that all of literature 
is a series of references and 
allusions.^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Sontag#cite_note-21>
