Couldn't have more respect for Moser's handing of the many, many written sources he pored over for this book. His research was exhaustive - really above reproach. Excerpts from Sontag's journals populate every page of the book and I didn't pick up on any unreasonable extrapolations or biases. So refreshing not to be distracted from the facts while still being offered a complex, human portrait of the subject! Moser's eloquence borders on poetic at times (not unlike Sontag's herself) but don't be misled: this book is dense.

Fairly interesting biography about an incredibly interesting person. The narrative is clear (although extensive) and touches on so many details about Sontag’s life.

No es solo una biografía – es un libro que te hace reflexionar sobre tu propia forma de ver el mundo.
