A Zendo in Schenectady
C.E. Petit, in Scrivener's Error points us to a wonderful interview with Ursula Le Guin that appeared last week in the Guardian.
The quoatable throwaways include Le Guin's answer to the inevitable "Where do you get your crazy ideas" question
Q: What I would most like to ask you is where you get your inspiration.UKL: I sit and listen.
as well as this gem, worthy of Stef Maruch's .sig file:
Q: Perhaps you feel a bit out of step with your contemporaries?UKL: Why should a woman of 74 want to be "in step with" anybody? Am I in an army, or something?
But read the whole thing, because of the more substantial content as well.
