	John Gardner and Creative Writing
		I envisioned Gardner as both a role model for my students, and as a practicing writer who could shift the focus of creative writing from high-flown theories of fiction to the nuts and bolts of writing.
		Gardner also seems to have a prejudice against the novel of ideas, claiming that "the primary subject of fiction is and always has been human emotion, values, and beliefs." But DeLillo creates a world where emotions seem almost inappropriate, and dialogue, in the Bakhtinian sense, has been utterly divorced from both feeling and imagination.
		The spirit of John Gardner lives on in his ephebes and his published works, but as far as his exercises in creative writing are concerned, the "word" is just getting out now.
