Opening the Door to Consciousness

Author: Jonathan Cott, Susan Sontag

Susan Sontag, who left her mark on the second half of the twentieth century as both a thinker and a person of action, answers many questions that always remain current, in her unique style, in this comprehensive interview with Jonathan Cott, the founding editor of Rolling Stone magazine, in 1978.

The simple but striking, questioning and provocative style in Sontag's works becomes evident in the answers she gives to the questions posed to her own life and world of meaning, opening the doors of consciousness to the reader. The topics he touches on with great enthusiasm, from philosophy to art, from politics to literature and history, become clear in his clear narration, rejecting the given binaries; Thanks to the perspective that evaluates the academic and the daily together, they become discussions inherent in life.

This interview, in which a "passionate aesthetic enthusiast", an "obsessive moralist", an intellectual who "doesn't want to return to his roots" both pushes his own limits and makes the reader confront his own limits, promises a shocking journey through all the channels where Sontag's critical genius is fed.
