"Reborn" is 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 life.
The influential American writer and literary critic's diaries from her early thirties present her powers as a culturally important intellect gathering. Candid about sexuality in a less enlightened time. Includes a preface from Sontag's son David Rieff.
