Is this the same book you were asking about? I was not sure since his name is listed as John Garnder and John C. Gardner. Hope it helps. Here is a autobiogray page on him if you like to use it: http://www.todayinliterature.com/bio...hn.gardner.asp , JOHN, On Moral Fiction.
NY: Basic Books, (1978). First Ed.. Arguably Gardner's most important book, a controversial polemic that took the unpopular position that artists bear a moral responsibility that they ignore at the risk of rendering their work irrelevant. The controversy around this essay beset Gardner beyond all expectations, and he was painted by some as a fascist and throwback to a time when Art only served the prevailing moral, social, and political order. The author's untimely death in a motorcycle accident in 1982 short-circuited the debate, which has been picked up since by others who have, like Gardner, argued for meaning and relevance in art, not just expression.
