That's the only way we can take the moral content of these works, the moral lives of the artist seriously, is by talking the issue to death.

But I think having it there in a child's set of intellectual resources allows them the opportunity to then think carefully about it, whether on their own or in conversation, and whether it happens then or whether it happens down the line.

That was Eric Mathis, author of Drawing the Line, What to Do with the Work of Immoral Artists from Museums to the Movies.

I'm so appreciative to Eric and also to Claire for coming on to talk about these really thorny issues.

Next week, we're going to lighten things up a little and get into a topic very dear to my heart.

We'll talk about what Dahl might be most globally famous for these days, the film adaptations.

Which means we get to talk about Spielberg and Zemeckis and Burton and Clooney and Streep and so many more.

True or false, Quentin Tarantino once directed a Roald Dahl story starring Bruce Willis.

We'll definitely get into that.

And I'll speak to the man who just might be the single most recognizable voice in TV criticism.

I can't wait.

See you there.
