@helendewitt @martinconneely2 Yes, he did. He found letters that Salinger had written to friends and tried to use them in a biography. Salinger sued him. It was tremendously taxing on Salinger. He won.

@DearDipika @manifest_st The feeling is mutual!

@TimeOutChicago Real Chicagoans say "pop" (pahp) not soda.

[Eileen Favorite (she/her) @EileenFavorite]

@MatthewGoulish All of those iterations come up when we
discuss the artists and writers like Salinger, Patricia Highsmith, Plath, and even Elvis. It’s always idiosyncratic how any of us deal with all of this. Thanks for the shoutout!

@ClaireDederer @borrelli Thanks for visiting! Your insights were so valuable.

[Eileen Favorite (she/her) @EileenFavorite]

Thanks to @borrelli for covering another "episode" of my Love the Art, Hate the Artist class, when the fabulous @ClaireDederer visited and shared her wisdom.

@Heffalumpy @RealYaffster @Theholisticpsyc You’re doing such important but difficult work. Losing our tempers is natural under stress. Give yourself a big hug of forgiveness. Your brother forgives you, which is beautiful.

@BenPurkert “lose the voice.”

@pswordwoman @saic_news 2/2. I do think when the art touches something deep within us, we can, in that moment, transcend all knowledge of the maker and experience exquisite beauty. But then…we remember the other stuff.

[Eileen Favorite (she/her) @EileenFavorite]

@pswordwoman I’ve been teaching this issue for 20 years in my class Love the Art, Hate the Artist @saic_news One thing I’ve learned is that we all draw the line between the art and the artist at different places, depending on our lived experience. There are things I’ll never forgive. 1/2
