• Susan Sontag lived a life of singular contradictions: an intellectual featured on Vanity Fair; gay but married to a man at 17; an independent thinker whose first book was published under her husband’s name. Praised for her essays, she grieved for her novels. Moser makes vivid Sontag’s extraordinary life and thought, both contrary and congruent, with clear-eyed humanity. - reviewed by @viragohaus, a new member in the bookoccino family. . . . . #sontag #leibovitz #biography #allenlane @benjaminfmoser

  • ‘Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond. The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing.’ - Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist . . .
