Yesterday, FSG published Susan Sontag's Debriefing, a new collection of the writer's short fiction. I'm always excited to read more of Sontag's work-which is convenient, because it seems there's always more to read. Sontag, who died in 2004, was remarkably prolific, especially if you count her journals, which I consider ecstatic texts in and of themselves. Speaking of ecstasy, Sontag is also a figure of worship for a lot of writers, in part because of the many, many opinions she had on writing, and what good writing should be. All of which, despite their occasional contradictions, are probably correct. To celebrate her new book, I have collected some of these below.
