蘇珊·桑塔格,1933年生於美國紐約,畢業於芝加哥大學。1993年當選為美國文學藝術學院院士。她是美國聲名卓著的“新知識分子”,與西濛娜·波伏瓦、漢娜·阿倫特並稱為西方當代最重要的女知識分子,被譽為“美國公眾的良心”。2000年獲美國國傢圖書奬,2001年獲耶路撒冷國際文學奬,2003年獲德國圖書大奬——德國書業和平奬。2004年12月28日病逝於紐約。
"A writer is someone who pays attention to the world," Susan Sontag said in her 2003 acceptance speech for the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, and no one exemplified this definition more than she. Sontag’s incisive intelligence, expressive brilliance, and deep curiosity about art, politics, and the writer’s responsibility to bear witness have secured her place as one of the most important thinkers and writers of the twentieth century. At the Same Time gathers sixteen essays and addresses written in the last years of Sontag’s life, when her work was being honored on the international stage, that reflect on the personally liberating nature of literature, her deepest commitment, and on political activism and resistance to injustice as an ethical duty. She considers the works of writers from the little-known Soviet novelist Leonid Tsypkin, who struggled and eventually succeeded in publishing his only book days before his death; to the greats, such as Nadine Gordimer, who enlarge our capacity for moral judgment. Sontag also fearlessly addresses the dilemmas of post-9/11 America, from the degradation of our political rhetoric to the appalling torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib. At the Same Time, which includes a foreword by her son, David Rieff, is a passionate, compelling work from an American writer at the height of her powers, who always saw literature "as a passport to enter a larger life, the zone of freedom."

節前從北京撤離那天,一大早開始下雪。前晚剛讀完西格麗德·努涅斯的《永遠的蘇珊:迴憶蘇珊·桑塔格》,路上繼續讀《同時:隨筆與演說》,《重點所在》。和早幾年閱讀她的格言體時,對字斟句酌和激發想法(也許是慶幸可以藉鑒甚或盜用)的慨嘆不同,現在更為蘇珊·桑塔格的個...
評分讀桑塔格緣於好友的力薦,《同時》購入已近很久,直到最近纔開始讀,果然在黃燦然先生的筆下,桑塔格的犀利筆觸和智慧躍然紙上,令我為之嘆服。 Susan Sontag is acclaimed as "the conscience of the American Public" due to her acute criticism and unbiased jud...
評分對於康德《純粹理性批判》關於時間和空間的抽象論述,桑塔格歸結為:“時間之所以存在,是為瞭使一切不至於同時發生……空間之所以存在,是為瞭使一切不至於都發生在你身上。”這就為小說的敘述提供瞭可能性:一切,既不至於同時發生,也不至於在同一處發生。世界充滿瞭可能性...
評分因為自己一個在寫書評,所以很留意大傢的寫作風範。從昆德拉到卡爾維諾再到桑塔格,我終於知道那種不動聲色不掉書袋的書評纔是最見功力的。這裏隻說桑塔格。 我一直認為書評就是一種軟文,它來源於作品但又比作品更有趣。因為書評人抽取瞭作品中最有趣的東西呈現...
評分前兩天在MSN上和朋友講,蘇珊•桑塔格的《同時》齣瞭,黃燦然的翻譯。後來朋友說:我剛見過她。。。我嚇一大跳,無話可講。原來,這哥們兒是把桑塔格看成桑格格啦。。。果然,誤讀無時無刻不在,連段位這麼低的都可能有。 確實,誤讀無時無刻不在,尤其對桑塔格這樣一個譴責...
