Books Are Not Life, But Then What Is? demonstrates how much Marvin Mudrick loved life and celebrated the dignity of life in literature. "e;It's helpful to be reminded now and then, "e; he writes, that "e;while novelists persist in their noisy betrayals of human dignity, living has a longer history than reading, and truth than fiction."e; Mudrick insists on seeing authors and their characters as people and he describes and judges them as frankly as if they were living among us.
