Cultural Writing. Autobiography. As a student at DePauw University in 1952, John Gardner kept a notebook to which he gave the seemingly playful title LIES! LIES! LIES! With the journal shaping his discipline, Gardner as a teacher is his own best student. He writes character sketches, scenes, poems, parodies, polemics arguing with critics and teachers -- *then tests and questions his own words (he calls the journal LIES! LIES! LIES!
