On Sontag at Carnegie Hall
On March 30, Susan Sontag’s friends and family will pay tribute to her with a private concert at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel auditorium.
A ten-by-ten-inch limited-edition book containing photographs of Sontag, by Peter Hujar, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jill Krementz, Andy Warhol, and Sontag’s longtime partner, Annie Leibovitz, will be produced for the event. Sontag’s funeral
was held in January at Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris. Along with a flutist who played Debussy’s La Flute de Pan, passages were read from Samuel Beckett and Charles Baudelaire, who are also buried there. Sontag’s longtime agent, Andrew Wylie, welcomed the guests, who included her son, David Rieff, as well as Leibovitz, Isabelle Huppert, Ian McEwan, and Salman Rushdie. Patti Smith took a Polaroid in Paris that is going to be the last page of
the Carnegie Hall book.
