Today I read a talk by Bruce Hafen and came across this little gem. It's a statement by Arthur Henry King, that says that most truly great literary works will raise some profound question about a human problem, explore the question skillfully and in depth, and then leave the matter for the reader to resolve. If the resolution seems too clear or too easy, the literature is perhaps not very good or else those reading it have missed its point.
I love that - it makes me want to read more and more books that make me think!!!
