Death Kit, anyone?

[Crystal]

Does anyone here know something about Susan Sontag? Have you ever read one her books? I wondered what you would be your opinion about her book, Death kit Link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385267118/103-8412593-2927051?v=glance&n=283155

Thank you.

Woops. Sorry. I found one here:http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=1012&highlight=Susan+Sontag

2nd one:http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=7990&page=7&highlight=Susan+Sontag (urgh................ seemed that her books probably fall into my having-no-interests-knowing-more category.)

Seemed like that Novella did not like her books.

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.
