I shall involve myself wholly...everything matters!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo wrote Susan Sontag in May 1949 at the age of sixteen. This, the first of three volumes of her journals and notebooks, presents a constantly and utterly surprising record of a great mind in incubation. It begins with journal entries and early attempts at fiction from her years as a university and graduate student, and ends in 1964, when she was becoming a participant in and observer of the artistic and intellectual life of New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReborn\u003c\/i\u003eis a kaleidoscopic self-portrait of one of America's greatest writers and intellectuals, teeming with Sontag's voracious curiosity and appetite for life. We watch the young Sontag's complex self-awareness, share in her encounters with the writers who informed her thinking, and engage with the profound challenge of writing itself—all filtered through the inimitable detail of everyday circumstance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sontag, Susan","offers":[{"title":"Hardback With dust jacket","offer_id":42635437080800,"sku":"9780374100742","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/BNCImageAPI_c3446136-8aa7-4896-a9e2-f51d9f3e1f67.jpg?v=1649258274","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9780374100742","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
