Susan Sontag foi escritora, crítica de arte e ativista dos direitos humanos. Em 1978, Jonathan Cott, um dos fundadores da revista Rolling Stone, entrevistou Sontag pela primeira vez em Paris e, posteriormente, em Nova York. Apenas um terço de sua conversa de doze horas foi reproduzido na edição de 4 de outubro de 1979 da Rolling Stone. Mais de três décadas depois, a prestigiosa editora de Yale publica a transcrição completa dessa entrevista memorável, agora traduzida pela Autêntica, acompanhada de um prefácio e das lembranças desse encontro. Aqui estão reunidas sua visão de mundo, sua trajetória, seus embates pela liberdade de expressão, comentando, a fundo, suas obras que influenciaram várias gerações. Instigantes, as perguntas de Jonathan Cott provocaram respostas reveladoras, e o resultado fornece um olhar indispensável àquela que se descrevia como "esteta inebriada" e "moralista obsessiva".
