OK, good people. I'm giving a talk on political novels/art. So questions: Do you think political novel in general are bad, and if so, why? What makes a novel political and another not? Can art and politics be separated, and if so, should they be? Hit me!

Your second question is the one that immediately came to my mind after reading "Do you think political novel in general are bad, and if so, why?"; and I'm struggling a bit (more than that) with an answer to it.

I have a few answers but I'm interested in finding out more. And just as important, it seems to me that writers are indoctrinated with the idea that politics has no place in lit, and I want to know why.
