Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963 by Susan Sontag
5.0
5/5
"It is humiliation with every slip-of-the-tongue, sleepless nights spent rehearsing tomorrow’s conversation, and torturing oneself for yesterday’s...a bowed head held between one’s hands … it is my god, my god...(in lower case, of course, because there is no god).”
Marriage, Motherhood, Escape, Identity
A dazzling portrait often imposed with merciless self-dissection of her personality and intellect. The journals oscillate between cool academic analysis and a rather appetent development of her writing and philosophy. A lovely collection that left me wild and breathless for more.
