We reviewed Claire Dederer's "Monsters, a Fan's Dilemma." If you still need to read it, we have linked the original article that inspired this book to a journal entry on our website. But in this episode, Alexis Kletjian reads passages from "Monsters," so you can easily follow along.
Our favorite chapter was about "The Fan," exploring the role of fandom and its consequences while diving into the complexities of artistic appreciation and the challenge of sidestepping ownership as the audience.
Lauren Golt, a bonafide film connoisseur, leads a chapter dedicated to Woody Allen. Towards the end, she questions whether artists can achieve redemption for their monstrous acts, especially in the context of surviving cancel culture. Her passion for cinema has inspired her to create Bar Reverie's CINEMONDAYS, a monthly event series at her restaurant where she curates film screenings.
This episode is full of contemplative pauses as we question ourselves and each other. The question remains: what do we do with the art of monstrous men?
