[livejournal.com profile] vanityfair wrote an entry about trying to convince her mom to read The Wild Swans. Her mom did not want to do so. The conversation did not go well.

It's an extremely peculiar sensation to learn that someone is afraid to read your work. After all, I don't consider myself to be a particularly scary person! (Well, that's a guess on my part, judging from the reaction Aja described. But that's what it sounds like to me.)

I find it sad that the interaction didn't work for Aja, too, because I had hoped that The Wild Swans would work exactly as she tried to use it, as something to prompt honest reach-across-the-barrier conversations.

Eh well, maybe Aja's mom will read it yet. Or if not, another book that accomplishes the same purpose.
