Description

Colin Burrow talks to Thomas Jones about the work of Ursula Le Guin. They discuss the way she brought anthropology into speculative fiction, her explorations of power and moral responsibility in the Earthsea books, and what it was like for Burrow growing up with another writer of fantasy and speculative fiction: his mother, Diana Wynne Jones.Find Burrow's piece on Le Guin and more here: https://lrb.me/ursulaleguinpodSubscribe to the LRB from just £1 per issue: https://mylrb.co.uk/podcast20b
