Catchword: sontag
Filed under: ,
Part of speechn.
Quotation: How describe Susan Sontag? She was essayist, novelist, critic, director, celebrity, feuilletonist in the best/worst European fashion…No one description applies, and no one job category would sum her up; she was kind of an intellectual of all trades and master of none. Maybe there ought to be a new word for that kind of American figure—a sontag.
