书名：Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963(Journals of Susan Sontag #1)《重生：苏珊·桑塔格日记与笔记》  

中文简介：《重生》是桑塔格日记的第一部分，截取的是1947—1963年桑塔格早年的生活片断。她曾在日记中写到，日记的功能之一就是被人偷看的，“让那些在日记中才能诚实相对的人”。写下这句话的时候，她偷看了哈丽雅特的日记，了解到哈丽雅特对她的评价草率，苛刻，充满恶意，这种来自爱人的想法让她很受伤。我们通过那些充满睿智的见解，深刻的洞见，咄咄逼人的气势的文化批评和论文中得到桑塔格的印象在这本日记中得到了颠覆性的印证。 

英文简介："I intend to do everything...to have one way of evaluating experience—does it cause me pleasure or pain, and I shall be very cautious about rejecting the painful—I shall anticipate pleasure everywhere and find it too, for it is everywhere! I shall involve myself wholly...everything matters!"

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.

Reborn is a kaleidoscopic self-portrait of one of America's greatest writers and intellectuals, teeming with Sontag's voracious curiosity and appetite for life. We watch the young Sontag's complex self-awareness, share in her encounters with the writers who informed her thinking, and engage with the profound challenge of writing itself—all filtered through the inimitable detail of everyday circumstance.
