nice post. although there relationship is pretty out in the open and confirmed now. i'm obsessed with susan sontag, and have read pretty much everything that exists about their relationship on the internet, and the different perspectives are interesting. some people are very critical-- i'm not quite as critical, because i think it's totally valid to just live your life and not have to make pronouncements bc you are famous. i mean they were clearly out to their actual acquaintances, but we hold famous people to a different standard in our society. and there's something romantic about her (sontag) fitting into the mold of the brilliant intellectual who takes various lovers and it's not a big deal. but yeah, her sexual orientation is pretty obvious if you read Reborn, the first volume of her published diaries.
