I lost my husband in 2000, and still miss him, I also wanted to keep his shoes, but instead, i kept his best suit. .- I like to know about Joan Didion, R.I.P. Beautiful Lady
"The Tear of Magical Thinking" and "Blue Nights" are must reads for anyone who has lost a loved one through death...Both are wonderful books and totally honest.
i dont think its a matter of wanting to succeed of the death of a loved one, but trying to move past it by sharing her pain and growth with others. by talking about it, it makes her journey real and recognized instead of being something invisible and unknown to the world. if she were to have died before writing this, no one would know and appreciate her pain. now she feels more connected and has more significance in her circumstances. i would do the same thing. its just a personality thing.
Is it insensitivity? I know what you're getting at; I watched and thought his reactions to her answers are insensitive - but I then wondered - is it more a gauche, emotionally awkward issue. Either way, it does jar and clang.
The interviewers style seemed abrupt because I wanted him to show sympathy which is not what he is there to do. I perhaps would have been more comfortable with a female interviewer who most naturally would be gentle.
It is easy to fault or feel sorrowful about loss but most of us do not have a public platform to do so. I guess her relationship with her husband and daughter's death is much less than mine's. Typical elitist -
shes a legend we are worse without her

This is a SHOCKINGLY deep interview. Joan Didion has nerves of pure titanium; I nearly teared up just listening to this.
A wonderful read, engaging and deeply personal.

Vanessa Carlton braught me here
This interviewer is incredibly insensitive. Awful questions. Phrased and conceived.

A stupid read, incredibly
nar·cis·sis·tic
I found it insightful and resonating.
Our critiques say as much about us as the work.
Sir I believe you have missed the mark
But so many people have benefitted by reading her work and why? Because they find it insightful.

Typical Trump supporting shithead.
No no if you had a loss your pain is just as real..
She earned her platform. What have you written?
America--land of heartless cocksuckers like Fred Bailey.
The TALK mentioned "lacunae" ... or missing spots of understanding. We all have some 😳
