Styles of radical will
by Dennis Johnson
A video blast from the past, courtesy of the terrific Los Angeles Times book blog Jacket Copy and its star blogger Carolyn Kellogg: In what looks like mid-sixties Manhattan, Susan Sontag visits the architectural wonder the Seagram’s Building with its architect Philip Johnson, and with a swinging but invisible jazz combo blowing hot behind her with-it-daddy narration.
Dennis Johnson is the founder of MobyLives, and the co-founder and co-publisher of Melville House.
