Ursula K. Le Guin: The Last Interview and Other Conversations

The seven interviews collected here span over four decades, from 1977 to 2018, and have appeared in cultural media outlets such as 10:05, Mother Jones, and California Magazine. In this unique collection, Le Guin discusses not only her writing and life, including her perspectives on the science fiction/fantasy genre, the influence of Carl Jung on her work, and the writing process of classics like the Earthsea series, but also her relationships with her parents and husband, and her experiences raising children. For Le Guin, fantasy literature's imagining of possibility ultimately concerns the ideal life and the mysteries of existence.
★ "The Last Interviews" (Volume 2) follows the interviews with 6 literary giants in the first volume. Listen to 6 extraordinary women from various fields such as law, film, sociology, and literature: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Jacobs, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, and Ursula K. Le Guin. They broke through social conventions, created their own world in their respective fields, and influenced the world today.
The 20th century saw profound changes in the world, including the role of women in society. The six extraordinary women featured in this series have profoundly impacted their respective fields, defying societal expectations of gender roles. Their lives have inspired generations.
Ursula K. Le Guin, a visionary sorceress of magnificent vision and profound wisdom, is a beacon of contemporary science fiction and fantasy. In interviews spanning over four decades, she explores the mysteries of fantasy literature, the imagination of an ideal life, and the mysteries of existence.
★ Interviews sit somewhere between autobiography and biography, narrating oneself and the world through the dual perspectives of self and others. The "Last Interviews" series features rare interviews from the archives of publications like The New York Times, Life, Film Magazine, Time, and Interview, bearing witness to the wisdom of our time.
★ Spend a cup of coffee and listen to a brave and energetic heart!
"I will miss her. Literature will miss her. There is no one like her." - Zadie Smith "She was a giant, a born storyteller, obsessed with her art. She influenced a whole generation of writers, myself included." - George RR Martin "We cannot recall her from the eternal stars, but she leaves behind a rich body of work, hard-earned wisdom and the deepest optimism. Her intelligence, wisdom, wit and beautiful voice are more valuable than ever." - Margaret Atwood
