"The issue here isn’t just that Didion’s private thoughts are being exposed, but that, even in death, we treat our idols as if they are our idols. We feel entitled to understand every detail of their lives — their thoughts, their relationships, their innermost fears. This sense of entitlement raises several troubling questions: When do the lines between admiration and intrusion blur? At what point do we cross into a territory where we are no longer respecting a person’s memory, but exploiting it for profit and public consumption? We read their work, we admire who they are, but does this allow us access to those things once they no longer have the ability to grant permission? " - By Makayla Prible
