A fresh new voice in art and cultural questions whether or not focussing on representations of cruelty make us cruel.

In a journey through high and low culture (from Kafka to reality TV), the visual to the verbal (Paul McCarthy to Brian Evenson), and the apolitical to the political (Francis Bacon to Kara Walker), Nelson offers a model of how one might balance strong ethical convictions with an equally strong appreciation for work that tests the limits of taste, taboo and permissibility.
