Susan Sontag, como sempre, primorosa. Ela desperta em mim a necessidade de conhecer tudo sobre o que é dito.

Minha única meta é chegar na idade em que ela escreveu esses ensaios (1980-2000s) com tamanho repertório.

Meus favoritos são: “Uma carta para Borges”, “Uma fotografia não é uma opinião. Ou é?” e “Isolamento”.

Só não dou cinco estrelas porque muitos ensaios eu era alheia ao tema, dada minha própria ignorância.

I've been trying to read more Sontag, and I started reading this because it was the first title immediately available to me via audiobook. This may not be the best format, and I'm far too ignorant on most of what she writes about to understand it or even appreciate it. Her writing on writers is totally out of reach for me, as is much of her writing on cinema. However, I was delighted to happen upon the essay "There and Here - Homage to Halliburton," which captures her reflections on the Book of Marvels.
