Novels by conservative authors are typically reviewed harshly on account of upholding conservative values (often accompanied by accusations of [[reactionism]] or [[bigotry]]), regardless of the works' actual merits.  Liberal novels, conversely, are given a free pass, regardless of vulgar [[sexual]] or anti-values content; their flaws are typically glossed over.

The [[conservative]] values of literary [[classics]], such as [[War and Peace]], [[Les Miserables]], and the works of [[Mark Twain]] and [[Charles Dickens]] (to name only a few - conservatism permeates the [[canon]]) are typically ignored or marginalized in [[University]] teaching settings.  This [[deceit]] by liberal [[academics]] convinces students that conservatism is not modern or capable of creating great art.

As publishing houses are typically controlled or strongly influenced by the academic and review establishments, they are much less likely to publish conservative works, regardless of their merits.  This is worsened by the liberal media's likelihood to ignore conservative publications altogether.  Thus, conservative novels must make use of [[Christian]] publishing houses, which have been established to counteract these problems, but unfortunately are lacking in size and present.
