Talk:David Rieff

message: It was surprising to read "Rieff has expressed strong disapproval of the American policies and actions that both informed and followed the invasion of Iraq." Given his background, environment, and influences, I would have thought otherwise. Are you sure that this sentence can be verified?Lestrade (talk) 16:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Jewish?

message: A quick google search shows that the strings "son of David Rieff", "daughter of David Rieff", and "David Rieff is married" - and several variations thereof - all come up with empty search results. Does anyone know whether there is any citable statements on whether he has, or has had, a family of his own?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.21.66.189 (talk) 09:02, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find any reference to Rieff's personal life on that order, either, and the only anecdotal (read: non-professional) evidence of his life independent of his mother is an interview with an ex-girlfriend of his, Sigrid Nunez, who wrote extensively about her life cohabiting with Sontag and Rieff; absolutely nothing about his current relationship status, and I assume that that's for a reason; unsurprising, given Sontag's own predilection for privacy.

thread_title:  Own family 

message: Okay, what I'm not getting (and perhaps it's belaboring the point to say it): Is there a question as to whether or not Rieff is Sontag's son, or is it a question of whether Sontag had any other children? Citing commonly accepted and frequently stated fact that isn't being openly challenged seems... weird, I guess, particularly given that the fact of the relationship is established in the far more detailed Wikipedia article on Sontag.
