[Leica] A Kinder gentler Sontag, more from the writer of "On Photography"

[John Collier <jbcollier@home.com>]

Some quotes from a recent interview in the Irish Times:

"Those essays were enormously influential, appallingly influential."

"It was kind of seductive to be part of the public debate about things, and
to feel that one was supporting the good, the true, and the beautiful,
turning people's attention to wonderful things that they might not know
about."

"An essay is one-voiced, while the novel is multi-voiced and
multi-perspective"

Speaking of her essays on many subjects (including photography) during the
sixties and seventies.

She has been writing novels again, quite successfully I might add. Her son
(David Reiff) reported on the Balkan Wars from Sarajevo and she spent three
years there; where she directed a production of "Waiting for Godot" which
the local actors took to calling "Waiting for Clinton".
