ZWERLING:
And then I took her toPeggy's Bar, and that was the
night we both got very drunk
together, and she was wild.
I mean, she was so...
she was so naive
and so innocent.
She'd never had
any kind of sex.
in high school, but I mean it
was not anything
real, you know,
because men left her cold.
WOMAN AS SONTAG:
I know the truth now.
I know how good and
right it is to love.
I have in some part been
given permission to live.
Everything begins from now.
I am reborn.
ZWERLING:
And then I left.I went to Paris.
Susan went to Chicago.
HAIDU:
How Sue becameSusan Sontag led
through Philip Rieff.
I was assigned to Philip Rieff's
social science class
at the University of Chicago.
After, I think, 2 or 3 weeks,
I called her and said,
"You've got to
go hear this guy.
He's a brilliant lecturer
who manages to put together
Freud and Marx."
So she went, and
apparently 10 days later
they were engaged.
Um, that was not
my recommendation.
WOMAN, AS SONTAG:
At 17, I met a thin,
heavy-thighed balding man who
talked and talked, snobbishly,
bookishly, and called
me "Sweet."
After a few days,
I married him.
We talked for 7 years.
WOMAN:
It wasa very small wedding.
We went afterwards to Bob's
Big Boy for a hamburger.
She and I were
giggling a little.
That I remember, that we just
each caught the other's eye
and that was it.
When I visited them in
Cambridge, they seemed totally
close, inseparable.
How much of it was intellectual,
and how much was not?
I mean,
there had to have been,
at some point, some physical
attraction somewhere,
and they certainly
acted like there was.
They were just really kind
of like they were one person.
WOMAN, AS SONTAG:
I had a difficult birth.
David was big.
A lot of pain.
not to know anything.
[Woman, as Sontag]
If only I get the fellowship
to Oxford, then at least I'll
know if I'm anything
outside the domestic stage,
The feathered nest.
just really fine, but people
change in their marriages,
and obviously she did.
He did not.
WOMAN, AS SONTAG:
In marriage, I have suffered
a certain loss of personality.
At first the loss was
pleasant, easy; now it aches
and stirs up my general
disposition to be malcontented
with a new fierceness.
Just got the fellowship.
Study philosophy in Oxford.
WOMAN:
She had madearrangements for her
husband's parents to take
care of the child.
But to today's parents,
it's just unthinkable.
Because she was so young when
she had her child, she hadn't
been able to live out
her own adolescence.
