- **Event Name**: Backlist Book Club: Monsters, A Fan's Dilemma
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for our monthly book club discussion! All are welcome as we discuss Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer. You do not need to register, simply show up to chat about the book (be okay with spoilers if you haven't finished!).

About the book:  Can we love the work of artists such as Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Miles Davis, Polanski, or Picasso? Should we? Dederer explores the audience's relationship with artists from Michael Jackson to Virginia Woolf, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work? Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity? And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other? In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster in order to create something great. Does genius deserve special dispensation? Does art have a mandate to depict the darker elements of the psyche? And what happens if the artist stares too long into the abyss? Highly topical, morally wise, honest to the core, Monsters is certain to incite a conversation about whether and how we can separate artists from their art.
