I read several obituaries for Susan Sontag today, but the best I thought was at the L.A. Times, which I found through the Wikipedia entry on Sontag. Written by the Times book editor, I felt it had a more personal tone to it than the other pieces. It also gave more space to Sontag's connection to Los Angeles. I especially liked reading about her attachment to the old Pickwick books that once graced Hollywood Boulevard.

That was a beautiful obituary. Thanks for pointing it out.

The things one misses when one is sick with a cold....Goodbye Susan. And thanks for leaving your essays so you can stay with us....I am just disappointed that you won't be writing more.
