AS CONSCIOUSNESS IS HARNESSED TO FLESH[qh]
《意識受制于肉體》[qh]
The second published volume of Susan Sontag’s diaries, As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980 (public library), one of the best history books of 2012, offers an intimate glimpse of the inner life of a woman celebrated as one of the twentieth century’s most remarkable intellectuals, yet one who felt as deeply and intensely as she thought. Oscillating between conviction and insecurity in the most beautifully imperfect and human way possible, Sontag details everything from her formidable media diet of literature and film to her intense love affairs and infatuations to her meditations on society’s values and vices. Especially enchanting is the evolution of her relationship with love over that decade and a half, as Sontag settles into her own skin not only as a dimensional writer but also as a dimensional human being.[qh]
作為第二部發布的蘇珊·桑塔格日記集——《意識受制于肉體：1964－1980年間日記與筆記》是2012年最佳歷史類書籍之一，它讓我們得以一窺蘇珊·桑塔格在作為20世紀最著名的女性知識分子之一的光環背后的生活，閱讀此書你會跟著她的思路一起進行深刻而廣泛的思考。桑塔格一直以一種最美的不完美和人性的方式在信任和不安全感間徘徊，她在文字中詳細記錄所有的一切，從她最愛的電影、文學等媒體大餐到最熱烈的愛情經歷和她對于社會價值和罪惡的思考。尤其令人欣賞的是她與愛人近20年相處時間中情感變化的記錄，桑塔格用自己的文字展示給大家的不僅是一個立體的作家更是一個豐滿的人。[qh]
