Lies! Lies! Lies!
As a student at DePauw University in 1952, John Gardner kept a notebook to which he gave the seemingly playful title Lies! Lies! Lies! The journal offers a revealing glimpse into the youthful mind of a brilliant writer. While contemplating his upcoming marriage, and entering a writing contest (in which he is pulling for another DePauw student, a future writer named John Jakes), Gardner ruminates on his prodigious readings in Dumas, Fielding, Swift and Thackeray, and records a series of boyish college pranks, all the more amusing for the sophisticated intelligence of the perpetrator. Introduced by novelist Thomas Gavin (himself a former student of Gardner), this is the first publication of this journal, in any form, anywhere. It is reproduced here in a facsimile edition, preserving the writer's clear and fastidious penmanship, followed by a printed transcription of the text.

Self-Renewal
“The only stability possible is stability in motion.”—John William Gardner In his classic treatise Self-Renewal, John W. Gardner examines why great societies thrive and die. He argues that it is dynamism, not decay, that is dramatically altering the landscape of American society. The twentieth century has brought about change more rapidly than any previous era, and with that came advancements, challenges, and often destruction. Gardner cautions that “a society must court the kinds of change that will enrich and strengthen it, rather than the kind of change that will fragment and destroy it.” A society’s ability to renew itself hinges upon its individuals. Gardner reasons that it ...
Thoughts
Thoughts is a collection of author John Gardner's thoughts on our cities, states, and federal governments, as well as radio personalities, political talk TV shows, Nikita Khruschev, banks, CEOs, cable news, TV shows, movies, celebrities, ghost-dogs, reincarnation, loss of freedom, rip offs, the Homeowner's Associations, and things he does not understand. "The thing that worries me the most is the loss of freedom in America today. The Homeowner's Association was the beginning of our loss of freedom. "Over the years my thoughts and opinions on politics have not changed. I heard people Say, 'I voted for him because my family has always voted for that party.' Personally I think that's just stupid. You need a reason to vote, if you don't have a real reason to vote, don't. "Some of my thoughts you will agreed with and some you wouldn't, and that's okay, if I get you thinking about a matter that you haven't thought of before now, well that a good thing. Americans thinking new things, new ideals are always good for them and the country. I would love to hear your thoughts on my thoughts. I hope I can shine some light on a few topics and give you a few laughs along the way."
