There is a Mormon literature, starting with the Book of Mormon. Involvement has been the life-blood of Mormon writing, as seen in their hymns, in the autobiographies of Parley P. Pratt, Hosea Stout, Pridley Meeks, Abner Blackburn, and Anne Clark Turner, and in the works of Eliza R. Snow. The future of Mormon literature lies in becoming involved in the cross-currents of contemporary life--racial equality, sexual equality, and the bomb.
