About This Item
PM Press, 2011-05-01. Paperback. New. Ursula K. Le Guin is the one modern science fiction author who truly needs no introduction. In the forty years since The Left Hand of Darkness, her works have changed not only the face but the tone and the agenda of SF, introducing themes of gender, race, socialism and anarchism, all the while thrilling readers with trips to strange (and strangely familiar) new worlds. She is our exemplar of what fantastic literature can and should be about. Her Nebula winner The Wild Girls, newly revised and presented here in book form for the first time, tells of two captive ?dirt children? in a society of sword and silk, whose determination to enter ?that possible even when unattainable space in which there is room for justice? leads to a violent and loving end. Plus: Le Guin?s scandalous and scorching Harper?s essay, "Staying Awake While We Read", (also collected here for the first time) which demolishes the pretensions of corporate publishing and the basic assumptions of capitalism as well. And of course our Outspoken Interview which promises to reveal the hidden dimensions of America?s best-known SF author. And delivers.
