Susan Sontag: The Complete Rolling Stone Interview

Susan Sontag, One Of The Most Internationally Renowned And Controversial Intellectuals Of The Latter Half Of The Twentieth Century, Still Provokes. In 1978 Jonathan Cott, A Founding Contributing Editor Of Rolling Stone Magazine, Interviewed Sontag First In Paris And Later In New York. Only A Third Of Their Twelve Hours Of Discussion Ever Made It To Print. Now, More Than Three Decades Later, Yale University Press Is Proud To Publish The Entire Transcript Of Sontagʹs Remarkable Conversation, Accompanied By Cottʹs Preface And Recollections. Sontags Musings And Observations Reveal The Passionate Engagement And Breadth Of Her Critical Intelligence And Curiosities At A Moment When She Was At The Peak Of Her Powers. Nearly A Decade After Her Death, These Hours Of Conversation Offer A Revelatory And Indispensable Look At The Self-described Besotted Aesthete And Obsessed Moralist. -- Jacket.
