AS CONSCIOUSNESS IS HARNESSED TO FLESH[qh]
《意识受制于肉体》[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]
作为第二部发布的苏珊·桑塔格日记集——《意识受制于肉体：1964－1980年间日记与笔记》是2012年最佳历史类书籍之一，它让我们得以一窥苏珊·桑塔格在作为20世纪最著名的女性知识分子之一的光环背后的生活，阅读此书你会跟着她的思路一起进行深刻而广泛的思考。桑塔格一直以一种最美的不完美和人性的方式在信任和不安全感间徘徊，她在文字中详细记录所有的一切，从她最爱的电影、文学等媒体大餐到最热烈的爱情经历和她对于社会价值和罪恶的思考。尤其令人欣赏的是她与爱人近20年相处时间中情感变化的记录，桑塔格用自己的文字展示给大家的不仅是一个立体的作家更是一个丰满的人。[qh]
