In spring 2004, Susan Sontag was diagnosed with the incurable blood cancer which would kill her later the same year. She had a huge appetite for experience, and a wild, extravagant desire to live. Rieff details her reaction to the diagnosis, and the way that her friends and doctors responded to her shock and grief. He writes movingly about being by her side during that last year and at her death, and about his own contradictory emotions: his guilt both for not consoling her enough, and for somehow colluding with her in her belief that she could beat the disease. Drawing on Sontag's journals and letters, which Rieff read after her death, and on the writings about death of other great thinkers, Swimming in a Sea of Death provides a vivid portrait of Sontag in the last year of her life and a haunting meditation on mortality. Published by Granta, London 2008. 179 pages. Hard cover. 5" x 8". The covers, contents and dust jacket are all in very good condition. Not price-clipped. Weight: 300 grams.

We do our best to accurately describe all items, but we are human and as all human beings do in life, we do make the odd mistake from time to time.

As we are sure you can understand and appreciate, we are not a library and there must be a legitimate reason, why buyers want to return items
