The breadth and imagination of her work earned her six Nebula Awards, seven Hugo Awards, and SFWA’s Grand Master, along with the PEN/Malamud and many other awards. Le Guin (1929-2018) was a celebrated author whose body of work includes 23 novels, 12 volumes of short stories, 11 volumes of poetry, 13 children’s books, five essay collections, and four works of translation. This conversation was recorded in front of a live audience at Literary Arts on July 15, 2022. In this conversation, Juhea and Michelle discuss how they came-and returned-to Le Guin’s work, her influence on their writing, and how they are carrying her legacy forward, including the responsibility of the artist as a humanitarian. Juhea Kim and Michelle Ruiz Keil are two of those voices that we need now.
