- A Wizard of Earthsea
Welcome to Season 8 for Books, Broads, and Booze! After a hiatus, we are refreshed and back at it!! It’s October, the spooky season. We’re stepping into a book with a dark shadow.
Before Harry Potter, there was Ged of Gont. Step into the mythic world of Ursula K. Le Guin’s “A Wizard of Earthsea.” In this episode, we explore Le Guin’s groundbreaking subversion of classic hero tropes, her Taoist-inspired magic system, and the timeless psychological depth of the Shadow. Whether you're a long-time fantasy fan or reading it for the first time, join us as we explore why this 1968 classic remains a triumph of speculative fiction.
As always, drink responsibly!
