Something of this strange dilemmaâuntangling who an artist actually is from the inflated version of himself he creates on the pageâcomes to mind while reading Julius Taranto's How I Won a Nobel Prize.
His novel is a gleefully irreverent satire of so-called cancel culture, virtue signaling, and early-21st-century hypocrisy set largely on the campus of the Rubin Institute, a fictional center of higher learning staffed by an intellectually gifted but morally bereft faculty that has been shunned by former employers and at Rubin can pursue both research and perversions with impunity.
