"There is not some correct answer. You are not responsible for finding it. Your feeling of responsibility is a shibboletth, a reinforcement of your tragically limited role as a consumer. There is no authority and there should be no authority. You are off the hook. You are inconsistent... You are a hypocrite, over and over... You are not responsible for solving this unreconciled contradiction. In fact, you will solve nothing by means of your consumption; the idea that you can is a dead end. The way you consume art doesn't make you a bad person, or a good one. You'll have to find some other way to accomplish that."

This book isn’t setting out to give answers. It’s a deeply personal exploration of monstrous people who make art and what do we do about it? There isn’t a clear answer and that’s what makes it hard for all of us. Dederer makes that clear through her exploration of her own relationship to art and the art’s monstrous creators

Fantastic perspective
