Me and Susan Sontag
So, Susan and I are more alike that I thought...
"Yet she was saved by an uncontrollable element in her temperament - a yearning for emotional experience, even for transcendence...she wanted to be overwhelmed, even humbled."
and
"She may have rejected cultural levels, but she embraced intellectual hierarchies; she wanted to know who mattered in any given art form and where people ranked."
and
'The ardency of her desire for genius..."
See? Just like me!!!
From the Sept. 12, 2005 New Yorker article entitled The MovieGoer by David Denby.
