For instance, author and comedian David Sedaris uses family material so often that he once sat in a Q and A session thinking “how odd it was that these people seemed to know so much about my brother and sisters.” Taylor Swift, whose iconic song writing is partly defined by its frequent references to her former lovers, made a lighthearted reference to this reputation in a song: “I bet you think about me when you say/ ‘Oh my God, she’s insane, she wrote a song about me.’” The artists featured here suggest that no insanity is required: they all look to their relationships—family, friends, romantic partners, and acquaintances—for everything from cheap models to intimate character studies.
