520    "Benjamin Moser's Sontag, a biography of Susan Sontag, is 
       a portrait of the iconoclastic and prolific essayist, 
       novelist, and critic and her role in the history of 
       American intellectualism" --|cProvided by publisher. 
520    No writer is as emblematic of the American twentieth 
       century as Susan Sontag. Mythologized and misunderstood, 
       lauded and loathed, a girl from the suburbs who became a 
       proud symbol of cosmopolitanism, Sontag left a legacy of 
       writing on art and politics, feminism and homosexuality, 
       celebrity and style, medicine and drugs, radicalism and 
       Fascism and Freudianism and Communism and Americanism, 
       that forms an indispensable key to modern culture. She was
       there when the Cuban Revolution began, and when the Berlin
       Wall came down; in Vietnam under American bombardment, in 
       wartime Israel, in besieged Sarajevo. She was in New York 
       when artists tried to resist the tug of money—and when 
       many gave in. No writer negotiated as many worlds; no 
       serious writer had as many glamorous lovers. Sontag tells 
       these stories and examines the work upon which her 
       reputation was based. It explores the agonizing insecurity
       behind the formidable public face: the broken 
       relationships, the struggles with her sexuality, that 
       animated—and undermined—her writing. And it shows her 
       attempts to respond to the cruelties and absurdities of a 
       country that had lost its way, and her conviction that 
       fidelity to high culture was an activism of its own.   
       Utilizing hundreds of interviews conducted from Maui to 
       Stockholm and from London to Sarajevo—and featuring nearly
       one hundred images—Sontag is the first book based on the 
       writer’s restricted archives, and on access to many people
       who have never before spoken about Sontag, including Annie
       Leibovitz. It is a definitive portrait—a great American 
       novel in the form of a biography. Product I
