individual artists are delightfully fierce without being mean
spirited. . . . Fascinating and bracingly intelligent. . . . The

moments, reading it can feel like having the best conversation of
your life. Rachel Syme, NPR Books I hope that critics, and aspiring
critics, and those who are interested in the relationship between
art and ethics, read The Art of Cruelty]. Susie Linfield, New
