"A writer is someone who pays attention to the world," Susan Sontag said in her 2003 acceptance speech for the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, and no one exemplified this definition more than she. 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 addresses written in the last years of Sontag’s life, when her work was being honored on the international stage, that reflect on the personally liberating nature of literature, her deepest commitment, and on political activism and resistance to injustice as an ethical duty. She considers the works of writers from the little-known Soviet novelist Leonid Tsypkin, who struggled and eventually succeeded in publishing his only book days before his death; to the greats, such as Nadine Gordimer, who enlarge our capacity for moral judgment. Sontag also 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. At the Same Time, which includes a foreword by her son, David Rieff, is a passionate, compelling work from an American writer at the height of her powers, who always saw literature "as a passport to enter a larger life, the zone of freedom."

对于康德《纯粹理性批判》关于时间和空间的抽象论述,桑塔格归结为:“时间之所以存在,是为了使一切不至于同时发生……空间之所以存在,是为了使一切不至于都发生在你身上。”这就为小说的叙述提供了可能性:一切,既不至于同时发生,也不至于在同一处发生。世界充满了可能性...
评分前两天在MSN上和朋友讲,苏珊•桑塔格的《同时》出了,黄灿然的翻译。后来朋友说:我刚见过她。。。我吓一大跳,无话可讲。原来,这哥们儿是把桑塔格看成桑格格啦。。。果然,误读无时无刻不在,连段位这么低的都可能有。 确实,误读无时无刻不在,尤其对桑塔格这样一个谴责...
评分以她最后一次演说的标题《同时》为书名,这本苏珊桑塔格的“最后一部”随笔集在她去世后出版。中文译本由黄灿然,翻译过其众多作品的“钦定”译者译出。在后记中,黄灿然承认桑塔格在英语中是一位文体大家,绝非“读起来蛮好的”,他说若是读者觉得他的译文“读起来蛮困难的”...
评分读桑塔格缘于好友的力荐,《同时》购入已近很久,直到最近才开始读,果然在黄灿然先生的笔下,桑塔格的犀利笔触和智慧跃然纸上,令我为之叹服。 Susan Sontag is acclaimed as "the conscience of the American Public" due to her acute criticism and unbiased jud...
