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. \u003c\/p\u003e\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In interviews spanning over twenty-five years of her literary career, including a previously unpublished piece conducted by the volume's editor, Le Guin talks about such diverse subjects as U.S. foreign policy, the history of architecture, the place of women and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.","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47586400993431,"sku":"9781604730944","price":3135.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781604730944.webp?v=1774963979","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/conversations-with-ursula-k-le-guin-9781604730944","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
