NP, not M&D from an essay in NYT called How Reading Transforms Us

[Mark Kohut]

Most recently, in a theoretical paper published last month in the
journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, we drew on
the studies described above, as well as on research that compared
preoccupations of famous fiction writers with those of famous
physicists, to outline a psychological conception of artistic
literature as being based not on persuasion or instruction (as, for
example, the Roman poet Horace theorized in "The Art of Poetry") but
on indirect communication.
