Claire Dederer: author on her new book Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma examining the conundrum of problematic creators

Fans everywhere are often faced with the dilemma of enjoying the content made by problematic entertainers. Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Kanye West, Picasso and many others have delivered well-loved works, but their less than perfect actions and views dilute their output. Author Claire Dederer has explored this conundrum in her new book Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma. "Because the subject matter was sort of a downer, I started to use different experimental forms to approach the subject matter. Some of the book is written in the form of lists, or it might be written with a map in the book." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
