Sontag: Her Life and Work by Benjamin Moser

challenging emotional informative medium-paced

4.0

Insanely well researched, if a little long. I've only read a few of her books, and Sigrid Nunez's accounts of her, but I was both conflicted about my feelings about her, and often surprised by what I read. Her writings aren't tender or sentimental, but I didn't know how truly awful she could be. That said, I'm always interested in depictions of alternative motherhood. She's polarizing, but fascinating.
