Let’s talk about one of the most influential SFF writers of all time, the great Ursula K. Le Guin. In episode 270, Luke & James explore the legacy of Le Guin’s body of work, the power of manifesting dreams into reality, why she isn’t afraid to break contracts with the reader, and the novelty of putting Portland at the center of everything. Join them next week when they discuss the 1980 film adaptation by David Loxton & Fred Barzyk!
