Reading this book makes you feel somewhat like a voyeur. Here you will discover the private thoughts and fragments of Susan Sontag's amazingly creative and scholarly mind from her undergraduate years at UC Berkeley to graduate school and to her involvment in the cultural world of New York City. The journals and notebooks, edited by Sontag's son David Rieff, contain her reflections on her personal life, including her marriage and its decline, her son, and her first sexual relationships with women. I found her lists of books to read and lists of films viewed simply poetic.
