Susan Sontag began to keep a journal at the age of 14 and continued to do so throughout her life. In her published writings Sontag reveals little about her private life; the journals represent the shadow side of that desire for privacy, unflinchingly honest, startling in their self-revelation. This selection from her early diaries, edited (with some reluctance) by her son, David Rieff, shows the way she began the process of transforming herself into America's leading intellectual.
