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!

1. Usually, but not always. But then, so are most unpolitical novels. 2. It aims to instruct or convince, instead of, or along with, providing aesthetic pleasure. 3. Yes, they can. I often (but not always) prefer it when they are, but I wouldn't elevate that to a principle.
