"These journals present the opportunity to delve deeply into the soul of Susan Sontag....Magnificent." –Nancy D. Kates, San Francisco Chronicle
"If
Reborn is Sontag's precocious coming-to, this sequel finds her there, a somebody....She fills her journals with flinty thoughts....It's impossible to read these journals and not experience the warmer side of her ambition: her deep admiration for certain artists around her, her animating wish to encourage and promote." –
Emily Greenhouse, The New Yorker "A little like her criticism, her diary entries combine her interests with bright, aphoristic turns of phrase....These diaries are a reminder of the value of the work that made her great, and also mysterious–-partly (and forever)–-escaping from view." –
