Can Creative Writing be Taught?

Below is a link to a New Yorker article from a few weeks ago, which discusses the question of whether Creative Writing can be taught, as well as the overall effect of Creative Writing workshops on the development of American literature in the last century. It's actually a review of a book about this subject.
