Product Details
- a passionate, provocative and extremely intelligent inquiry into how we experience art in the age of #MeToo and whether we can separate an artist's work from his biography. -Paris Review “Perfect... Dederer accepts his love for the art that shapes him by confronting different ways that beauty and evil can coexist, along with the monster and the monster. Go ahead, he tells us, love what you love.” -The New Yorker “Half-moment, half-review and total feast...” -The New York Times “A book like a sarcastic look among friends! Exciting, dazzling.” —Time magazine “What a great book: funny, moving, enjoyable, constantly worried about himself... Dederer's questioning and willingness to confuse, seductive and sincere style give the subject a new life... A fascination that allows difficult questions to be posed is quite touching.” —Megan Nolan, Sunday Times, Book of the Week “The Monster: The Dilemma of Fans Claire Dederer questions, from a witty top perspective, how we should look at the art of artists responsible for morally disgusting acts. Rather than getting stuck in the barricades of ongoing culture and arts wars, Dederer proposes and implements a way of thinking that recognizes the increasing diversity of intellectual and moral life.” —Pankaj Mishra, The Guardian Outspoken, clear and direct but never rude... Dederer demonstrates his critical intelligence... In this age of moral policing, author Dederer's instinct to approach such matters with an open mind and from the heart is commendable. -The Wall Street Journal Monsters is an incredible book, the best essay I've read in a long time. Given the seriousness of the subject, it's excitingly sharp, extraordinary, and funnier than you might imagine. -NICK HORNBY Consuming a work of art means two different biographies meet. What to do with the art of monster men? Can we love the works of Hemingway, Polanski, Woody Allen, Michael Jackson, David Bowie or Picasso? Does a genius artist deserve privilege? Does an artist have to be a monster to create a great work? Do the lives of artists blind us to the works they produce? Based on her own experiences, Claire Dederer discusses these questions and explores our relationships with artists' real lives. Morally wise, deeply thought out and written in sharp language, The Beast: The Dilemma of Fans gets to the heart of one of today's most talked about and irreconcilable debates. Show more
