I know you've said that you read reviews about your work, but do you ever read analytic articles about them?

Sure, sometimes.


I am interested in the sociological aspects. About a thousand papers have been done on Birds of Prey, my Wonder Woman run, and Women In Refrigerators alone, I get asked to speak on those topics at colleges often. 


When people write intensely personal analytic articles about my work, I find them very hard to read. Not that they aren’t done well, they usually are, but it can be very uncomfortable when someone really astute digs deep into your work. Positive or negative, it feels very much like someone has read my mind, and I get squidgy and stop reading.



Doesn’t mean they should stop, I am not supposed to be the audience! But writing is very personal to me, and when people really examine it well, over the course of a long run, I find I have a very hard time reading it.
