Tomorrow, I’ll be moderating an author panel for the Portland Book Festival on the anthology Dispatches from Anarres, science fiction and fantasy stories inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin, in which I’m fortunate enough to have a story featured.
While I have not yet read all the stories in the collection, my four fellow panelists offer a wide range of material, each touching on different things Le Guin’s writing meant to them. I will shout of hear to Jason Arias’s “JoyBe’s Last Dance,” a chilling yet hopeful almost allegory about racial and class oppression and changing perceptions to see new possibilities.
