Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Susan Sontag died this morning. The cause of death has not yet been made official, but as she was 71, there isn't much that would be out of the ordinary. Historically, she has written important and well-written essays and short stories, but in more recent times she has displayed moral blindness on a truly shocking scale.
