The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning by Maggie Nelson

4.0

This book was not exactly what I was expecting but brought up some points that made me rethink some of the work she dissects. She did not seem to have a clear objective other than discussing cruelty in many forms in a variety of art, literature, and film. It was still interesting even if she didn't have a strong opinion on the subject. I would have loved images to correspond with the text.
