• ursula k. le guin: briefly, what happened in the 17 years between farthest shore and tehanu was that feminism was reborn, and i became 17 years older, and learned a good deal. one of the things i learned was how to write as a woman, not as an honorary, or imitation, man.
  
  the guardian gazetesi: also, why did you make all the wizards male, and give them all those great big staffs? my colleague, dr freud of vienna, would be most interested to hear your rationale behind this...
  
  ursula k. le guin: you might read what i said above about learning to write like a woman instead of like an honorary man. from me you can tell dr f. to go smoke a big cigar.
