Fascinating. One can feel Sontag's mind beginning to ripen and bloom, and the full force of the intellectual originality that would be her hallmark emerging * Guardian * Inspirational. Sontag shows us not just the importance, but the exhilaration of being earnest * New Statesman * A fascinating document of her apprenticeship, charting her earnest quest for education, identity, and voice. Reborn is overwhelmingly a record of an inner landscape. * New York Review of Books *
