Author puts a lot of her own experience in a book about famous artists who are monsters and has a few moments of pretentiousness I was not wild about. But this is an interesting meditation on how fans interact with media and art when the artist who makes those works has done something so outside our values it affects our relationship to the art. Feminism is an important lense the author uses.

Not sure what I was expecting but this wasn't it. I hadn't read anything else by this author and didn't realize her previous work is in a) flim critique and b) memoir, so this book was in turn a) pretentious and b) self-serving. It was repetitive, yet seemingly said nothing. It was presented the "monsters" mostly a biographical essays and her own inner turmoil as truth. What a weird book. No thanks
