An iconic collection that showcases Gardner as a master craftsman navigating an uncertain world
In this exceptional book, author John Gardner explores the literary form as a vehicle of vision, and creates heroes that personify his tremendous artistic ideals: A Boston schoolmaster abandons his dreams of owning a farmhouse in rural Illinois only to be taken on a voyage across the seas and into self-discovery, faith, and love; an artistâs rapturous enthusiasm inspires an aging university professor to approach lifeâs chaotic moments as opportunities for creation. Each of these stories is wonderful in its own right, and provides valuable insight into the authorâs literary beliefs.  Â
Â
Written just prior to his critical masterwork, On Moral Fiction, The Kingâs Indian is a must-read for those interested in learning more about Gardnerâs highly controversial artistic philosophies.
