- Synopsis
- Jusdanis, who is not further identified, defends literature as a form of art, and art as a purveyor of beauty, and beauty as one of the necessary conditions for being human, one that has been neglected at best but too often heaped with facile praise or denigration in the jaded spheres of academe. He considers overture and themes, art's apology, two autonomies, art as parabasis, the line between living and pretending, and the future of a fiction.
