She's back!  The Surfing Librarian is back after a long, uncalled-for hiatus to discuss her dead lover, Susan Sontag.  In this episode, a discussion of Sontag's most recent book, At the Same Time.  Why is literature important?  How does it extend our sympathies? 
More importantly, why does Larry McMurtry hate librarians?
This week's book recommendation: Dave Egger's newest book, What is the What, a novelized account of the life of Valentino Achak Deng from his home in Sudan to his resettlement in the United States. 
Finally, a recipe for blueberry gin.
Coming up: more investigation of UCLA's Susan Sontag archives, including a dive into the mystery of Larry McMurtry's dislike for librarians.
Welcome back!

Yours truly,

The Surfing Librarian
