On Friday, March 4, a symposium: The Scandals of Susan Sontag, at CUNY’s Elebash Recital Hall.
At Inside Higher Ed, Scott McLemee reviews Terry Castle’s memoirish The Professor and Other Writings.
In the LRB, from March 2005, Castle recounts her turbulent “semi-friendship” with Sontag:
Then she stopped abruptly and asked, grim-faced, if I’d ever had to evade sniper fire. I said, no, unfortunately not. Lickety-split she was off – dashing in a feverish crouch from one boutique doorway to the next, white tennis shoes a blur, all the way down the street to Restoration Hardware and the Baskin-Robbins store.
