    <body><![CDATA[This is a must read for anyone interested in art or interested in the creative process.  Gardner calls a spade a spade in his book, drawing a clear line between what art is and what it is not.

    <body><![CDATA[Although I don't agree with all of Gardner's criteria for &quot;moral fiction&quot; (he almost acts as though there are only three authors who have the ability to write such literature), this book made me think about the importance, role, and value of literature more than many books I've read.

He moves into ethical territory that few critics dare enter and states his views with conviction.
