In this second volume of the Susan Sontag’s diaries and notebooks, that covers the central part of his life, unfolds a dense kaleidoscope of encounters, journeys, love, lecture, projects and thoughts. A palimpsest of ideas and insights to penetrate the existential and creative laboratory of the author, these diaries represent for the reader a full immersion in one of the brightest minds, intrepid and voracious of the twentieth century, always very mobile and unfulfilled, always restless and curious about himself and the world. From the creative experience to the amorous one, from the universe of affections to that of culture, politics and society, Sontag constantly explores the intellectual processes, embodied in the singularity of existence, of the ‘consciousness harnessed to the body’. With an inexhaustible lucidity and passion, in an international context full of stimuli that the author pursues, assimilates and elaborates tirelessly.I own this thing, my mind. It gets bigger and bigger, his appetite is insatiable.”
