"The value of fiction is not just that it entertains us or distracts us from our troubles, not just that it broadens our knowledge of people and places, but also that it helps us to know what we believe, reinforces those qualities that are noblest in us, and leads us to feel uneasy about our faults and limitations. . . The ultimate value of fiction is its morality."
John Gardner, teacher/author
