@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.
@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!
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.
@SashaAnnSimons@6figga_dilla I love to hear “the Jewels,” (the “the” is key), with a Southeast Side accent. Heard it all my life: “Youse guys wanna go to the Jewels and get some paaap?”
@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.
@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
