Synopsis
The first volume of Sontag's Journals and Notebooks is a landmark, opening up new and exciting perspective on one of the great minds of our time
The first of three volumes of Susan Sontag's journals and notebooks, this book presents a constantly surprising record of a great mind in incubation. It begins with journal entries and early attempts at fiction from her years as a university and graduate student, and ends in 1963, when she was becoming a participant in and observer of the artistic and intellectual life of New York City. We watch the young Sontag's complex self-awareness, share in her encounters with the writers who informed her thinking, and engage with the profound challenge of writing itself--all filtered through the inimitable detail of everyday circumstances. Reborn is a kaleidoscopic self-portrait of one of America's greatest writers and thinkers.
