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.
Yep...But it seems that it can't be posted.
thanx, though
