I read Tendeler's memoir and had a lot of similar feelings as you. I had also hoped for a deeper look into her creative life and see her explore that more deeply, along with maybe trying to understand and begin healing from her ED and Anxiety, etc.
You made so many unique connections and helped me to see a few things differently about her work and what she was communicating through that, which was likely more effective than the memoir because of things she possibly couldn't write about. I also, found it odd that Mulaney announced his marriage basically the day her book was released...not a coincidence.
Your brain is amazing! Truly love how you make connections to history, art, etc. LOVED!
Yes, exactly! I realized at some point that I actually had no idea how the place she was at was helping her because it didn’t quite make sense to me, but maybe that’s just because I’ve never been institutionalized.
And thank you! Katie you are so so kind. I really appreciate it.
i gasped at tendler’s “i hate men” quote 😭 like why on earth did they publish that lmao. i haven’t seen a single good review for this book! as for the tudors, have you read the six wives of henry viii by alison weir?? sooo good
Right?? I was so baffled by that. I’ve seen either super good reviews or super angry reviews, no in-between. And I LOVE Alison Weir! I just go that one because I’m dying to read about Catherine Howard and there’s nothing out there. Antonia Fraser also did a biography on the six wives of Henry VIII so I’m gonna have to devour both.
Brilliant! Sometimes celebrity divorce settlements include non disclosure agreements, which prohibit mentioning the former spouse, especially if there’s a child involved. Wonder if that applies in this case?
Thank you! And that was my thought too. Which makes sense. Celebrities have their lives made public and open to scrutiny. I’d probably want a non disclosure agreement as well.
Never have I clicked on an essay so quickly!
