Ebook: Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

"In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself."


The first of three volumes of Susan Sontag's journals and notebooks, Reborn (1947-1963) reveals one of the most important thinkers and writers of the twentieth century, fully engaged in the act of self-invention. Beginning with a voracious and prodigious fourteen-year-old, Reborn ends as Sontag, age thirty, is finally living in New York as a published writer.
