Susan Sontag

Died on December 28 at age 71. How to classify Susan Sontag's enormous contributions to American criticism and culture, to the position of the United States in global criticism and culture? I felt a personal pang when I heard about her death. From On Photography, In America, and I, Etcetera—the finest examples of her essays and literature—to "Regarding the Torture of Others"—her dauntless political criticism—Sontag was a model critic, a model mind.

Against Interpretation and The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction are the only two indispensible modern texts.

Plus, the chick had cool hair.
