First, regarding Mists of Avalon: if you do know about it, I think it ought to have a bearing on how you think about it. That doesn't mean that you can't love it. But, you know, you kind of have to ask yourself, "How will I feel about loving something that was created by this awful, awful person?" And if the answer is that you're fine with it, go to it. But it's a serious possibility either way.

Regarding the broader aesthetic question: I think that works can be evaluated in purely aesthetic terms but I think that the aesthetic is just one element of a work, and evaluating something on a purely aesthetic basis is necessarily a partial evaluation. To evaluate something on a purely aesthetic basis is to tear it away from its broader context. It's a distortion and an incomplete view of the work. That's how I feel about it anyway, and I doubt we're going to agree, but god bless.
