Welcome to For The Love Of Fiction
A return to literary conversation this week as Marcand Gav discuss the seminal feminist science fiction masterpiece The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) by Ursula K. Le Guin and her own critical essay, Is Gender Necessary?
Due to how forward thinking this classic novel was about gender issues, there will be some discussion about the topic so if you are not that way inclined, stay clear!
