'An exhilarating, shape-shifting exploration of the perilous
boundaries between art and life' JENNY OFFILL 'An incredible book,
the best work of criticism I have read in a very long time' NICK
HORNBY 'Wise and bold and full of the kind of gravitas that might
even rub off' LISA TADDEO A passionate, provocative and
blisteringly smart interrogation of how we experience art in the
age of #MeToo, and whether we can separate an artist's work from
their biography. What do we do with the art of monstrous men? Can
we love the work of Roman Polanski and Michael Jackson, Hemingway
and Picasso? Should we love it? Does genius deserve special
dispensation? What makes women artists monstrous? And what should
we do with beauty, and with our unruly feelings about it? Claire
Dederer explores these questions and our relationships with the
artists whose behaviour disrupts our ability to understand the work
on its own terms. She interrogates her own responses and behaviour,
and she pushes the fan, and the reader, to do the same. Morally
wise, deeply considered and sharply written, Monsters gets to the
heart of one of our most pressing conversations. 'A blisteringly
erudite and entertaining read . . . It's a book that deserves to be
widely read and will provoke many conversations' NATHAN FILER
'Fascinating . . . Dederer poses so many topical questions, plays
with so many pertinent ideas, that I'm still thinking about this
book long after I finished it' CLAIRE FULLER
