Pablo Picasso beat his partners. Richard Wagner was deeply antisemitic. David Bowie slept with an underage fan. But many of us still love Guernica and the Ring cycle and Ziggy Stardust. \n\nAnd what are we to do with that love? How are we, as fans, to reckon with the biographical choices of the artists whose work sustains us? \n\nWildly smart and insightful, Monsters is an exhilarating attempt to understand our relationship with art and the artist in the twenty-first century.
