'As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh' is the follow-up to 2009's 'Reborn', the first in a series of diaries from the late American critic and philosopher Susan Sontag. This, the second of three volumes of Susan Sontag's journals and notebooks, begins where the first volume left off, in the middle of the 1960s. It traces and documents Sontag's evolution from fledgling participant in the artistic and intellectual world of New York City to world-renowned critic and dominant force in the world of ideas with the publication of the groundbreaking 'Against Interpretation' in 1966.
