Ever since she took American culture by storm with the publication of her Notes on Camp in 1964, Susan Sontag has been a star. Her austere glamour has been a critical factor in her success, making her a role model for intellectual women, a sex symbol for brainy men. She has never ceased to fascinate the public: as brilliant wunderkind, bringing the latest in French thought to America; as sophisticated analyst of her own experience with cancer in Illness as Metaphor; as champion of free speech in the Rushdie Affair; as theater director in besieged Sarajevo; and, with the publication of The Volcano Lover, as best-selling historical novelist. Yet she has both courted that fascination and insisted on holding it at a distance, demanding control over her public image. This first -- and most definitely unauthorized -- biography delves beneath the surface to examine the forces that made Susan Sontag an international icon. Carl Rollyson and Lisa Paddock explore her public persona and private passions, including the strategies behind her meteoric rise to fame and her political moves and missteps. Above all, they show how the life of Susan Sontag reveals to us the way we live now.

《在土星的标志下》的一段话，是39岁的苏珊·桑塔格（1971年）评价当时刚刚过世保罗·古德曼的言论。我很好奇，你是否想到，多年之后自己也会成为一个标尺，成为他人虚弱之时每每忆起，会重新燃起力量的榜样——“有没有他的书，我都会继续受到他的影响。现在，他去世了，再也...  

看完《死海搏击：母亲桑塔格最后的岁月》后，忍不注又重看了一遍这本传记，还是感佩这只“强硬之鸟”，这位斗士。说起来桑塔格也没有什么背景，童年和家庭对她而言是一片“荒漠”，她完全是靠自己的努力、智慧、个人魅力一步步走向自己的巅峰的，可以说她因为具有野心所以刻意...

too much euphemism, too much cliche

I doubt the reader above if you really get it from Sontag's neat and enlightening parts, whereas you guys have too much focus on what you scorn, ignoring selectively what contradict to your impatience and non-marginal mind
