Synopsis

Art gropes. It stalks like a hunter lost in the woods, listening to itself and to everything around it, unsure of itself, waiting to pounce." In his novels, John Gardner writes what he calls "moral fiction," stories that explore the world, that attempt to explain and understand it, and that in the process give a total view of morality. As Gardner himself has stated, "Art ... ultimately tries to support life." Search Educational Film Journals at Media History Project for references to this film
