This is Episode 1 of a 9-episode discussion of John Gardner's often overlooked, but important and timely treatise "On Moral Fiction." On Moral Fiction is described in its reprinted jacket copy as "a genuine classic of literary criticism, On Moral Fiction argues that "true art" is, by its nature, moral."
The book is divided into two parts. Part one is called "Premises on Art and Morality," and part two is called "Principals of Art and Criticism."
The book was published in 1979, but contains wisdom that still applies to today. In this 9-part series, I analyze the book chapter by chapter and offer my 2 cents worth of analysis.
A potentially helpful series for college students and aspring writers.
