About this ebook:
This fine collection of fiction and commentary represents the first major book length reaction to john Gardner's controversial attack on current American fiction. In his book, On Moral Fiction, novelist and critic Gardner makes a number of charges about American fiction: that it has become, among other things, "escapist," "cynical," and "not much good." "True art," Gardner claims, "by specific technical means now commonly forgotten, clarifies life, establishes models of human action, casts nets toward the future...."Contributors to the lengthy Writers' Forum in Moral Fiction: An Anthology were invited to respond to Gardner's criticisms and/or to posit their own hypotheses about moral fiction and the purposes and present condition of the art of fiction writing in the United States. Fiction for the anthology was selected with an eye toward capturing a range of imaginative positions on some of the same issues raised by Gardner and the writers contributing to the Writers Forum.Contents of issue 12:forum A Writers' Forum on Moral Fiction: Max Apple, John Updike, Gilbert Sorrentino, Gordon Lish, David Madden, Annie Dillard, Clark Blaise, Russell Banks, Kelly Cherry, Frederick Exley, Gordon Weaver, and others fable Ramsay Wood / from Kalila and Dimna fiction Joyce Carol Oates / Sin Jayne Anne Phillips / The Heavenly Animal Joy Williams / The Pastor Clark Blaise / Man and His World Jean Thompson / The Lost Tribe Elizabeth Inness-Brown / War Song Lee Zacharias / Lessons Elizabeth Cox / Land of Goshen Castle Freeman, Jr. / Seven Prophecies of Egypt Dianne Benedict / The Crows Lamar Herrin / For Years without War Debby Mayer / Paint Job David Long / Eclipse James Park Sloan / Vietnam No Big Deal Curtis Harnack / Creating and Destroying critiques Peter Bailey / Moral Fiction and Metafiction Robert A.
