literally as the title says, murder if one appreciates it as a connoisseur of the arts, if you could look at murder at a gallery and talk about it as an art piece.

pretty interesting, though i was thinking it would be about how murder was aestheticized within art throughout the ages.

Why create any art if not with the same energy as commiting a murder?

It was a quick read, yet not my favorite. The pace was good, yet the overall reading did require some attention to historical references.

I just am not well versed enough in history and philosophy to really be able to appreciate most of the points made... But the bits I did get I tended to enjoy

I’m sure for very well read people this would be much funnier. I found some bits amusing, however for the most part just a bit of a slog.

It is incredibly dry and boring. It might be my state of mind though so I may give it another shot later.
