Gardner was a great writer, a great teacher and by all accounts a great man. He taught the aforementioned Ron Hansen at Iowa. This book length essay makes a Tolstoyan case for fiction being a vehicle for the telling of eternal truth. For Gardner this is the highest purpose of art. A compelling read and a fit note to end this list on.
