Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer
dark
emotional
medium-paced
4.5
Addresses the question we have all been debating – what to do with the geniuses who create great art, but who are violent, sexist or racist in their personal lives.
From who is considered a genius (spoiler, men) to the value of cancel culture, this book takes unexpected turns but is more satisfying for it. It is brimming with an infectious love of books and films and music, and a breadth of knowledge on these subjects that makes reading it an immersive experience and counter-balances the darker stories.
