A brilliantly buzzy consideration of how we - the fans - should respond to good art made by bad people
The must-read book for fans everywhere
''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
Pablo Picasso beat his partners. Richard Wagner was deeply antisemitic. David Bowie slept with an underage fan. But many of us still love Guernica and the Ring cycle and Ziggy Stardust.
And what are we to do with that love? How are we, as fans, to reckon with the biographical choices of the artists whose work sustains us?
Wildly smart and insightful, Monsters is an exhilarating attempt to understand our relationship with art and the artist in the twenty-first century.
''An incredible book, the best work of criticism I have read in a very long time'' NICK HORNBY
''Part memoir, part treatise, and all treat'' New York Times
''Clever and provocative'' Daily Telegraph
