Sontag's incisive intelligence, expressive brilliance, and deep
curiosity about art, politics, and the writer's responsibility to
bear witness have secured her place as one of the most important
thinkers and writers of the twentieth century. At the Same Time
gathers sixteen essays and speeches written in the last years of
Sontag's life, when her work was being honored on the international
stage. She writes of the freedom of literature, about courage and
resistance, and fearlessly addresses the dilemmas of post-9/11
America, from the degradation of our political rhetoric to the
appalling torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib. David Rieff describes
his mother's passion in his foreword: She wanted to experience
everything, taste everything, go everywhere, do everything. Indeed,
if I had only one word with which to evoke her, it would be
avidity. . . . I think that, for her, the joy of living and the joy
of knowing really were one and the same.
