Listen to an amazing interview with Ursula Le Guin

The BBC's Owen Bennett Jones recently interviewed Ursula Le Guin, one of the most important science fiction authors of the past half-century. The author of Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and the Earthsea Chronicles, Le Guin has continued to write gorgeous, compelling tales of alien life well into her eighties. She tells Jones about how the science of anthropology influenced her work, as well as how she's brought Taoist themes into her writing. This is a terrific interview with one of science fiction's great masters. Listen to it at the BBC website.
