“我认为友谊是非常肉欲的,但不一定跟性有关。我认为我所有的关系都是肉欲的:我无法想象去喜欢一个我不想触摸或拥抱的人,所以在一定程度上总是有肉欲的一面。我不知道,或许我又是从自己的性观念出发这样讲的,但我确实不会被那么多人吸引。” 桑塔格这类文化定义者几乎涉...
评分去读一本一个完全不了解、不认识的人的访谈录,是件挺奇怪的事。她是谁?她在哪里?她做过什么?她有过哪些成绩?这些都像迷团扑面而来。但这丝毫不影响阅读这本书的兴趣,也不妨碍阅读带来的快乐。 通读完全书,我终于对她有了一些了解,这些了解像一幅朦胧画,远看有影像,...
评分这是一本与我以往读过的书大有区别的书,苏珊•桑塔格,她到底是一个什么样的人?我先是查了她的数据,因为之前对她几乎不了解,而这本书激发了我对她的生平的好奇。得知她是一个有着敏锐洞察力和广博知识的作家,她创作了大量的评论性作品。只是她晚年得了癌症,因为得病,...
评分相比于另两位西方当代最重要的女性知识分子波伏娃和阿伦特,对于苏珊•桑塔格我了解的并不那么多。所以在翻开这本访谈录之前,看着封面上那幅黑白的撕碎的照片,我幻想着一个锋利、坚硬、饱满的女性会出现在书中,但读过整本书后,我粉碎了幻想中现有的一切。 读访谈录有种...

“One of my oldest crusades is against the distinction between thought and feeling, which is really the basis of all anti-intellectual views: the heart and the head, thinking and feeling, fantasy and judgment . . . and I don’t believe it’s true. . . . I have the impression that thinking is a form of feeling and that feeling is a form of thinking.”
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 Sontag’s remarkable conversation, accompanied by Cott’s preface and recollections.
Sontag’s 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."
“I really believe in history, and that’s something people don’t believe in anymore. I know that what we do and think is a historical creation. . . .We were given a vocabulary that came into existence at a particular moment. So when I go to a Patti Smith concert, I enjoy, participate, appreciate, and am tuned in better because I’ve read Nietzsche.”
“There’s no incompatibility between observing the world and being tuned into this electronic, multimedia, multi-tracked, McLuhanite world and enjoying what can be enjoyed. I love rock and roll. Rock and roll changed my life. . . .You know, to tell you the truth, I think rock and roll is the reason I got divorced. I think it was Bill Haley and the Comets and Chuck Berry that made me decide that I had to get a divorce and leave the academic world and start a new life.”

评分"There should always be freelance people who, however quixotic it may be, are trying to lop off a couple of more heads, trying to destroy hallucination and falsehood and demagogy - and making things more complicated, because there's an inevitable drift towards making things more simple."
评分"I hate seeing myself as a victim. It was my choice, and I don't like blaming other people because it's so much easier to change oneself than to change other people."
评分"I hate seeing myself as a victim. It was my choice, and I don't like blaming other people because it's so much easier to change oneself than to change other people." That's why I adore this woman so much!
评分Susan Sontag had a 12 hours of conversation with Jonathan Cott in the October 4, 1979. They, or Sontag mostly, expressed their opinions on and thoughts of cancer and mortality, the music of R&R, cultural feminism, writing and living in NYC. I admire her not only her literary criticism, also her personality. Like a mentor, a mother never existed.
