Description:OC My idea of a writer: someone interested in OCyeverything.OCOOCO This declaration by Susan Sontag (1933OCo2004) seemed to reflect her own life as an essayist, diarist, filmmaker, playwright, and novelist writing on a startling range of topicsOCofrom literature, dance, film, and painting to cancer, AIDS, and the ethics of war reportage. For many critics, her work captures the twentieth-century world better than almost any other.

Maunsell concludes by examining her miraculous rebirth as a novelist and critic in the 1980s and OCO90s after her diagnosis with cancer in the mid-1970s.aProviding a full picture of Sontag as a private person and public figure, this concise biography casts new light on this pivotal figure in literary and cultural history."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
