    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&quot;I intend to do everything...to have one way of evaluating experience&#8212;does it cause me pleasure or pain, and I shall be very cautious about rejecting the painful&#8212;I shall anticipate pleasure everywhere and find it too, for it is everywhere! I shall involve myself wholly...everything matters!&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So wrote Susan Sontag in May 1949 at the age of sixteen. This, the first of three volumes of her journals and notebooks, presents a constantly and utterly surprising record of a great mind in incubation. It begins with journal entries and early attempts at fiction from her years as a university and graduate student, and ends in 1964, when she was becoming a participant in and observer of the artistic and intellectual life of New York City.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>Reborn </em>is a kaleidoscopic self-portrait of one of America&#8217;s greatest writers and intellectuals, teeming with Sontag&#8217;s voracious curiosity and appetite for life. We watch the young Sontag&#8217;s complex self-awareness, share in her encounters with the writers who informed her thinking, and engage with the profound challenge of writing itself&#8212;all filtered through the inimitable detail of everyday circumstance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
