Death Kit, anyone?

Sontag can be okay. I just don't like the way she used that particular photo as a cover for her novel about the opera singer. I used to see her at a restaurant near me with Annie Liebowitz, who owns a house near me.

Sontag, though, is one of those consciously intellectual types, in the French style, who enjoyed turning ideas inside-out. Her essays, IMO, are better than her fiction. Notes on Camp and Illness as Metaphor come to mind as groundbreaking. But I don't know anything about Death Kit.

I would not have wanted to be at a dinner party with Susan Sontag. I imagine she would behave like the wretched snob who humiliates Karen Black in Five Easy Pieces.
