Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer

3.0

At its best this book was great … however at its worst it was rambling, disjointed and overly stuffed with references. Nonetheless I am fascinated with this topic and constantly have these reflections when I consume art. What is the consumer’s moral responsibility when dealing with monsters? What are we, as fans, enabling, normalizing, promoting? Do our preferences even matter? I wish there was an easy answer to be found in this book, but Dederer does a good job at continuing the conversation.
