At the Same Time: Essays and Speeches by Susan Sontag

3.0

i read several of the essays in this collection - just picking the ones on themes that interested me - and i enjoyed them. sontag is good at what she does - delivering a sober account of a thing that is well researched. she can be a bit dry, but that doesn't bother me so much - it's nice when someone like DFW can write critically and obviously enjoy himself while doing it - but that isn't necessary. i guess i tend to come away from pieces by sontag feeling like i've learned something, but didn't necessarily enjoy the lesson.
