Le Guin\u003c\/i\u003e assembles interviews with the renowned science-fiction and fantasy author of \u003ci\u003eThe Left Hand of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Dispossessed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lathe of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eEarthsea\u003c\/i\u003e sequence of novels and stories. For nearly five decades, Le Guin (b. 1929) has enjoyed immense success--both critical and popular--in science fiction and fantasy. But she has also published well-received works in such genres as realistic fiction, poetry, children's literature, criticism, and translation. In the pieces collected here, Le Guin takes every interview not as an opportunity to recapitulate long-held views but as an occasion for in-depth intellectual discourse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In interviews spanning over twenty-five years of her literary career, including a previously unpublished piece conducted by the volume's editor, Le Guin talks about such diverse subjects as U.S. foreign policy, the history of architecture, the place of women and feminist consciousness in American literature, and the differences between science fiction and fantasy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Freedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604730943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604730944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 6.02w x 0.53d","brand":"Carl Freedman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987931660543,"sku":"9781604730944","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a6cf5b6-bf37-42c7-a80b-a2ec87df07ce.jpg?v=1683291663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-ursula-k-le-carl-freedman-9781604730944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
