The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning by Maggie Nelson

3.0

Nelson's essaying is focused and engaging here, and she has some thoughtful things to say, but it is the subject matter itself I disliked -- lots of descriptions of really awful-sounding modern and conceptual 'art' dealing with horrible, violent themes.
