pearwaldorfThe Guardian interviews Ursula K. LeGuin
There isn't much to watch on American TV now unless you are into violence and/or canned laughter. Did you know that most of the laugh tracks they use are so old that the people you hear laughing at the sitcom are mostly dead? It seems appropriate.
I took a sci-fi class with a professor old enough to have known Le Guin (who lives in Portland, incidentally) when she was an upstart writer. They taught a writing workshop together that yielded Molly Gloss, who he is also friends with and I demand you check out. This professor requested the journal entries I did on Gloss's and Le Guin's books. I was vaguely flattered and absolutely terrified that there was even a chance these two women writers I respect a great deal might see my bumbly ramblings on their work.
