In my report of this comment I could at first only see the "Didion gives of popular kid..." and I was bracing myself then was so happy to see the rest of this! I do think she was very gracious and kind. I mean--haha I have never met the woman! But my impression from biographies, interviews, articles, documentaries is that she was just very shy and quiet. I think life was hard for her! Sometimes her politics can get me down a little maybe but that's only a teeny shadow. The body of work is just insanely great. She has made such a huge impression on so many people--women's!--lives. Not to sound insane, but I have a giant print of her in the Celine ad in a very pretty frame hung prominently in my house. What a legend. Thank you for writing!
