Whether to separate the substance of the art from the creator of it is usually a question asked in the other direction. A book like Lolita provoked many questions about Vladimir Nabokov. People wondered how such a seemingly nice and happily married man could write such a dirty book about pedophilia. Side note: if you haven’t read that book, read it now. You don’t want to somehow live your life without having read it. It’s that good.
Anyway, we love our art and we idolize our artists. We want them to
reveal their innermost secrets so that we might be able to better
understand their art. Sometimes that’s an illuminating experience. Other times it’s
Britney Spears rambling for five minutes about time travel.
