Description
Monstruos explores our complex relationship with the work of admired artists, such as Hemingway and Picasso. Claire Dederer examines how we reconcile our admiration for their art with our moral distaste for their personal lives.
The author delves into the tension between our love of art and our discomfort with the darker aspects of an artist's personality. She questions whether this dissonance is unique to men, and whether a woman's identity can be torn apart by her creative pursuits.
This thought-provoking book raises important questions about the nature of art and its relationship to the human psyche. Can we truly appreciate genius without acknowledging its flaws? Dederer offers a nuanced exploration of these complex issues with wit, intelligence, and honesty.
