loved this so much, i often think about music being released post humous and what the art means if it wasn't ever approved by the artist themselves. do we understand what they were trying to convey or what someone else wanted to convey?
It’s funny you say that because I had an entire paragraph about Amy winehouse’s posthumous album but I cut it because I didn’t want to be redundant lol
This was such an interesting and rage-inducing and relatable read. MEN.
I’d had similar questions about Frida Kahlo’s diary (I felt a little guilty when I bought my copy), but even with hers I think there is similar gray area given how much time had passed since her death. Publishing Didion’s private thoughts this soon is sad but makes me think of the times we’re living in. In my mind it’s related to how more and more stores are open on Thanksgiving and Christmas with each passing year.
loved this! i used to often write in my diary thinking ‘what if this got published one day’ and like you say, it then comes a persona and not personal. it’s definitely so hard to do it but also SO important just to write for yourself - i find this is now where most of my writing joy comes from !!
