What do you get when you create a society with no fixed gender, a whole hell of a lot of snow, a shitload of shifgrethor, and a week off every month for carnal activities? You guessed it: Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. Listen in as Nathan, Stephanie, and Nick discuss the many flavors of science fiction, Le Guin's nuanced role as a prominent feminist writer, and how this book seems to deal with so many moving subjects but also lacks an emphatic touch. Also included are flagrant errors by wannabe scholars Nick and Stephanie, because, well, mistakes are simply a lot more fun sometimes. Whether you are co-quarantining at home or on a thousand mile journey across an isolated, icy landscape with the frenemy of your dreams, let's partake in some good-hearted attempted-intellectualism together.
