This was a fine dive into an ever more relevant, increasingly thorny issue: what do we as fans, consumers of art and media, do when the artist behind our beloved movie, book, music, whatever, is revealed to have done something shockingly heinous and morally repugnant? I appreciated the author’s erudite and honest approach to this topic, there are no easy answers here, no ironclad rules for this sort of thing. Instead this book offers only an intellectual framework, a more nuanced way of looking at the whole messy business of morally terrible people and their artistically great works. On the whole this was an interesting mediation, I think the strongest writing was at the beginning but it was an interesting read throughout.
