This book is a kind of "The Complete Works of Susan Sontag", the first volume of Sontag's diary, which spans from 1947 to 1963. These 16 years are the process of Sontag's growth from a young girl to a young writer and a single mother. The central content of her life is to experience it at all costs: to read eagerly and to "understand" with all her strength. Life and writing are inseparable, thus partially answering the question "Why Sontag is Sontag?"
Reader comments
The writing style of this book is authentic and nuanced, and the writing is smooth and insightful. The author Susan Sontag recorded her growth process with her unique perspective and keen feelings. A classic quote from the book: "One of the stupidest ways for the living to talk about the dead is to say, 'So-and-so would have been happy to do this.'" It is thought-provoking. This is a book worth reading that gives us a deeper insight into the inner world of this remarkable writer.
Suitable for those aged 13 and above to read, see more and be less surprised, make yourself calmer, Tomato novels are very conscientious.
