But she was mean. Should we dismiss her work just because she was a nympho?

Highsmith is good because she had the cheat code for writing the mind of a sociopath. Same way that Agatha Christie could frame her husband for murder and come out smelling of roses and amnesia.

It depends. You have to look at the artist and the work in question and make a determination as to the degree to which they set themselves aside when creating the work. And this is only for your personal valuation of the work.

Yes we should, why would you deprive yourself of great art? Was having this exact argument with a woman two days ago, she said she would never listen to Burzum for example. The guy might be a spastic but he made great music

alright, cool if you like it, whatever floats your boat I guess, but don't you think great is a bit of an exaggeration? there are many levels of musical artistry above him, if he's "great", you really have to think of some pretty dramatic adjectives to describe the actual greats
