Question: Who was also an American film-maker, Pat Conroy or Susan Sontag?
Context: Alice Kaplan is the John M. Musser Professor of French and chair of the Department of French at Yale University.  Before her arrival at Yale, she was the Gilbert, Louis and Edward Lehrman Professor of Romance Studies and Professor of Literature and History at Duke University and founding director of the Center for French and Francophone Studies there.  She is the author of "Reproductions of Banality: Fascism, Literature, and French Intellectual Life" (1986); "French Lessons: A Memoir" (1993); "The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Brasillach" (2000); and "The Interpreter" (2005), about racial injustice in the American army witnessed by Louis Guilloux.  In March 2012, Kaplan's book about the Paris years of Jacqueline Bouvier, Susan Sontag, and Angela Davis, "Dreaming in French," was published by the University of Chicago Press.  A French edition of "Dreaming in French", entitled "Trois Américaines à Paris: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, Susan Sontag, Angela Davis", was published by Éditions Gallimard in October 2012, translated by Patrick Hersant. Susan Sontag ( ; January 16, 1933 – December 28, 2004) was an American writer, film-maker, teacher, political activist.  She published her first major work, the essay "Notes on 'Camp'", in 1964.  Her best-known works include "On Photography", "Against Interpretation", "Styles of Radical Will", "The Way We Live Now", "Illness as Metaphor", "Regarding the Pain of Others", "The Volcano Lover", and "In America". Donald Patrick "Pat" Conroy (October 26, 1945 – March 4, 2016) was an American author who wrote several acclaimed novels and memoirs. Two of his novels, "The Prince of Tides" and "The Great Santini", were made into Oscar-nominated films.  He is recognized as a leading figure of late-20th century Southern literature. The Boo was the first book by writer Pat Conroy.  Written when Conroy was newly graduated (1967) from The Citadel in 1970, it is a collection of letters, short stories, and anecdotes about Lt. Colonel Thomas "The Boo" Courvoisie.  As Commandant of Cadets at the Citadel, Courvoisie was a friend and father figure to many of the college's cadets, including Conroy. Against Interpretation is a collection of essays by Susan Sontag published in 1966.  It includes some of Sontag's best-known works, including "On Style," and the eponymous essay "Against Interpretation."  In the last, Sontag argues that in the new approach to aesthetics the spiritual importance of art is being replaced by the emphasis on the intellect.  Rather than recognizing great creative works as possible sources of energy, she argues, contemporary critics were all too often taking art's transcendental power for granted, and focusing instead on their own intellectually constructed abstractions like "form" and "content."  In effect, she wrote, interpretation had become "the intellect's revenge upon art."  The essay famously finishes with the words, "in place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art".  The book was a finalist for the Arts and Letters category of the National Book Award Regarding the Pain of Others is a 2003 book by Susan Sontag, which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.  It was her last published book before her death in 2004.  It is regarded by many to be a follow-up or addendum to "On Photography," despite the fact that the two books have radically different opinions about photography.  This long essay is especially interested in war photography.  Using photography to back up her points, Sontag sets out to answer one of the three questions posed in Virginia Woolf's book "Three Guineas", "How in your opinion are we to prevent war?" My Losing Season is a memoir by Pat Conroy.  It primarily deals with his senior season as the starting point guard on the basketball team of The Citadel in 1966–67.  Conroy describes his tumultuous relationship with his coach, Mel Thompson, as well as the harsh, malevolent, male-dominated society of The Citadel.  Pat Conroy tells the story using flashbacks going back to his rough childhood where he remembers growing up with a tough father.  He describes one memory when his mother tried to stab his father with a butcher knife and his father backhanded her and started laughing.  The book also deals with the team's experience of losing.  In his final season, his team finished with an 8–17 record. AIDS and Its Metaphors is a 1989 work of critical theory by Susan Sontag.  In this companion book to her "Illness as Metaphor" (1978), Sontag extends her arguments about the metaphors attributed to cancer to the AIDS crisis.  Sontag explores how attitudes to disease are formed in society, and attempts to deconstruct them. Regarding Susan Sontag is a 2014 documentary film about the American intellectual Susan Sontag directed by Nancy Kates.  It premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on April 19, 2014.  The film's broadcast premiere was on December 8, 2014 on HBO.  Patricia Clarkson does voiceover for quotes from Sontag in the film.
