Claire Dederer

From the author of the New York Times best seller Poser and the acclaimed memoir Love and Trouble, Monsters is “part memoir, part treatise, and all treat” (The New York Times). This unflinching, deeply personal book expands on Claire Dederer’s instantly viral Paris Review essay, "What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men?" 

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.

Recipes for disaster!
Format: Paperback
I wish I never paid for this. I wanted to support the author and purchase it, but I'm regretting it big time. The book is clearly written by someone with great technical abilities, and poor communication/teaching skills. It also lacks clarity, and repeats some concepts under different sections without explaining why or what you're gonna do with that information, as if some explanations were incomplete... all in a way that it is utterly confusing. Codes have lots of errors, so get ready to debug the heck out of them. I needed this for a project which aimed to make some processes more efficient, and now I'm stuck fixing a problem I did not need, increasing my workload. One of the worst cyber security books I've ever owned.

Really nice first book set for little hands
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is such a great little book set! The books are small, have sturdy hard pages, and are super easy for little hands to flip through. My baby is 11 months old, and these are honestly perfect for this stage, they’re simple, engaging, and just the right size for early learning. I really like that each book has its own theme (like wild animals, transport, shapes, etc.). It keeps things interesting and helps introduce new words in a fun and easy way. Another big plus for me is that the pictures are photo-realistic, which I think is really important when babies are learning about the world, they can actually connect what they see in the book to real life. The quality of the set is excellent, the images are bright, colorful, and crisp, and the books feel durable enough to handle lots of use (and chewing, let’s be honest). I also love the sturdy box it comes in, it keeps everything organized and makes cleanup easy. Overall, such a nice little library to read and enjoy with your baby. Definitely recommend!

Perfect Purchase
Format: Hardcover
Wonderful. Perfect size for little hands. Colorful. Caught my grandson’s attention as soon as my son unwrapped it. A good number of choices, so it’s easy to keep my grandson’s attention for over. 1/2 hour. I’d say that’s terrific for a little guy. All in all, this is the best set of books I’ve bought. Money well spent! He’ll probably wear them out before a little brother or sister comes along 😂

Perfect for first baby books.
Format: Hardcover
Loved these for my first daughter a few years ago and they definitely got their use. I wanted to make sure I got a new set for my newborn. They are perfect for learning all the basics with large pictures that help them associate with the labeled word. Easy to travel with boards books that baby’s can hold as they learn to grip items.
