Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin

Lehman Auditorium

  • Director: Arwen Curry
  • Type: Documentaries
  • Year: 2019
  • Language: English
  • Length: 65 min
  • Screening: Mar 1 06:00 PM

Explore the remarkable life and legacy of the late feminist author Ursula K. Le Guin. She holds her ground on the margins of “respectable” literature until the sheer excellence of her work forces the mainstream to embrace her science fiction and fantastic writings.

Q&A with director Arwen Curry to follow the screening
