Monsters
"In this unflinching, deeply personal book that expands on her instantly viral Paris Review essay, 'What Do We Do With the Art of Monstrous Men?' Claire Dederer asks: Can we love the work of Hemingway, Polanski, Naipaul, Miles Davis, or Picasso? Should we love it? Does genius deserve special dispensation? Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity? 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? She explores the audience's relationship with artists from Woody Allen to Michael Jackson, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work? In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster in order to create something great. And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other?

Love and Trouble
At mid-life, Claire Dederer developed a sudden yearning for jailbreak. In this exuberant memoir, she reflects on two periods in her life uncannily similar in their emotional intensity: her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of unruly and mysterious new hungers, and her recollections of herself as a teenager. Blazingly intelligent, wickedly funny, and piercingly honest, in Love and Trouble Dederer captures the perils and pleasures of girlhood, womanhood, and life itself.

Dilemma's van een fanE-bookIn dit openhartige, zeer persoonlijke boek dat voortborduurt op haar actuele en veelgelezen essay ‘Wat doen we met de kunst van monsterlijke mannen?’ vraagt Claire Dederer zich af: Kunnen en mogen we houden van het werk van Ernest Hemingway, Roman Polanski, J.K. Rowling, Virginia Woolf of Picasso? Krijgen genieën een speciale vrijstelling en is er een verband tussen genialiteit en monsterlijkheid? Dederer verkent de relatie van het publiek met kunstenaars, van Woody Allen tot Michael Jackson, en onderzoekt of we een evenwicht kunnen vinden tussen ons onmiskenbare gevoel van morele verontwaardiging en onze even onmiskenbare liefde voor het werk. Monsters is uiterst actueel, moreel wijs en eerlijk tot op het bot.
