Among the things said by Gilbert Parker
about the art Of fiction In an address to
the Sesame Club in London, a fortnight
ago were these:
"A man must know truth to write fable"
Fiction can be learned, but cannot be
taught"
No great writer has ever had the idea
OF founding school OF this or that-of
idealism or symbolism or romanticism or
realism. Really great men have little time
for promulgating theories: they get hold OF
few principles and by these they live
I'm the art OF fiction the Individual is
thrown on his own innate talent"
Love and fighting are not necessarily
romance; nor are soup kitchens and divorce
courts necessarily realism"
I'm the very first chapter OF the book
the note must be struck which shall recur
throughout the book like the motif I'm an
opera"
There is only one test for novel: that

story; that 1t deal sincerely with human
life and character: that IL be eloquent OF
feeling; that II have insight and revelation;

value.
