![]() ![]() ![]() My best friends are super critical and it helps us all to not become static and question what we do/how we do it. I think maybe a good thing to say in advance of answering that is a person’s intentions matter. Oh wow, there's been so much! And often well-deserved. What was the first real professional criticism that you took to heart? I’ve changed so much since I started work in publishing, when I was twenty years old. I'm extremely sensitive and aware, and although this causes me to be affected by all kinds of things, I'm also able to-eventually-regard them more cooly and process them. It wasn't! How do you consider yourself thin-skinned then? Do you take feedback personally, or…? I think I know the answer but: do you consider yourself thick-skinned? With a sturdy online presence detailing a well curated life of fashion and art and the like, it seems natural that you’d be willing to discuss the negative feedback that comes with such a public existence. Today I’m with Stephanie LaCava, the author of the memoir AN EXTRAORDINARY THEORY OF OBJECTS, with words in The Paris Review, Interview Magazine, Tin House and more. ![]()
