ReviewsSempre Susan is as epigrammatic, funny and brutal as its subject. Sontag fans, haters, and agnostics alike will find that it contains indispensable lessons, both explicit and subtle, about how and how not to write, and how and how not to live.

SynopsisIn this poignant, intimate memoir, Nunez, a novelist who lived with Susan Sontag's son for several years in the 1970s, speaks of her gratitude for having had, as an early model, "someone who held such an exalted, unironic view of the writer's vocation." Published more than six years after Sontag's death, "Sempre Susan" is a startlingly truthful portrait of this outsized personality, who made being an intellectual a glamorous occupation., A biographical portrait by the novelist who lived with Sontag's son for several years in the seventies and knew her well in her last years.
