"From the 1960s to 1990s, there existed a type of cultural critic/public intellectual in NYC with a biting, acerbic sense of humor, who was eccentric and somewhat maladjusted, yet undeniably chic. Think Paglia, Gore Vidal, Fran Lebowitz, I'll even throw in Susan Sontag"

"I just read the Sontag essay on Paul Goodman and she writes about living without books to try better her own voice and discover what she really thinks and feels."
