Leslie Fiedler Art Quotations

The novel is the first art form that is an honest-to-god commodity. That's what makes it different from both high art and folk art.

All good criticism should be judged the way art is. You shouldn't read it the way you read history or science.

The novel is always pop art, and the novel is always dying. That's the only way it stays alive. It does really die. I've been thinking about that a lot.
