The Left Page - Episode 66 - And Seven Times Never Kill Man! Communication of Ideas Within the Fiction of Le Guin and G.R.R. Martin w/ Arthur Maia

1 hour 27 minutes

Hello everyone!!

For this month's episode we are joined by a Brazilian friend and scholar, Arthur Maia, to talk about George R.R. Martin, Ursula K. Le Guin, Science Fiction, and how they both create stories, communicate ideas, alongside their differences and the things they do both good and bad! So join us as we take the story "And Seven Times Never Kill Man!" as a jumping point and talk about so much more!

Enjoy!

Arthur Maia is a Brazilian researcher and PhD student dedicated to Science Fiction and Narratology, and is currently working on GRRM's SF in hid "Thousand Worlds" expanded story universe! He is also a contributor to the A Song of Ice and Fire Brazilian fan site Gelo & Fogo (Ice & Fire) and is a part of two different podcasts, one on Martin's work and another on Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles, both in Portuguese:
