Conference Report: The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin
Keywords:
conference reportAbstract
When Ursula K. Le Guin passed away last January, her absence left a hole in the hearts of many in the speculative-fiction community, as much for loss of her personal grace and wit as for her outsized contributions to the field. Understandably, many felt a deep desire to commemorate Le Guin in some way – and the result, at least on the European side of the pond, was a conference dedicated to her many great achievements. Set in Paris during a balmy three-day period, the City of Light’s summer life in full bloom, the Héritages d’Ursula Le Guin: Science, fiction et éthique pour l’Anthropocène offered fit testament to how Le Guin has become, not just a treasured national writer firmly ensconced in the American canon, which we already knew, but a figure of ever-widening international scope.
