MONSTERS - CLAIRE DEDERER KARTONIERT (TB)

'Funny  lively and convivial... how rare and nourishing this sort of roaming thought is and
what a joy to read' MEGAN NOLAN  SUNDAY TIMES 'An exhilarating  shape-shifting exploration of
the perilous boundaries between art and life' JENNY OFFILL 'Monsters is extraordinary -
engaging  enraging  provocative  and brilliant' ANN PATCHETT 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. *BBC RADIO 4
BOOK OF THE WEEK* 'A blisteringly erudite and entertaining read . . . It's a book that deserves
to be widely read and will provoke many conversations' NATHAN FILER 'Wise and bold and full of
the kind of gravitas that might even rub off' LISA TADDEO 'An incredible book  the best work of
criticism I have read in a very long time' NICK HORNBY
