Amivel persze nem azt akarom mondani, hogy a sci-fi és a fantasy nem több allegóriánál, álöltözetbe bújtatott társadalomfilozófiai problémagyűjteménynél – ám gyakran van egy ilyen olvasata is. A sci-fi és a fantasy (ahogy laikusként látom) jellemzően ötletközpontú formák: a szerző új nézőpontból kap el egy nagyon is ismerős problémát egyszerűen azzal, hogy az egész cselekményt teljesen idegen közegbe helyezi, legyen az a közeg a Mars vagy akár Középfölde. Le Guin ezen elbeszélései mindenesetre egyértelműen (egyértelműbben) sci-fi és fantasy történetek, nem sok kacérkodás van bennük a „komoly” realizmussal, és ez felettébb jól áll nekik. Hogy mi a kettő között a különbség? Hm, talán nem sok. Ha az előző kötetnél az volt a problémám, hogy az ötlet időnként ellopta a levegőt az emberi kapcsolatok amúgy érzékeny ábrázolása elől, hát most meg azt élveztem piszokul, hogy a központba helyezett ötletet mennyire feldúsította az emberi kapcsolatok érzékeny ábrázolása. – Hát persze, a Talmudot mindig szabad olvasni! – És rabbi, szabad dohányzás közben a Talmudot olvasni? – Rabelében, szabad a Talmud olvasása közben dohányozni?

It just doesn't quite reach the heights of the others in the series. grounded (which is somewhat ironic).That's not to say the book is bad it is still a fun, worthwhile read.

I thought I understood my father’s sorrow. In this annotated passage from her memoir, Shapiro writes about how comparing two DNA tests led her to uncover a family secret that “flooded every corner” with the truth she had sought her entire life as a writer. She had examined her whole life via writing, but still did not know the truth about herself. Still, she writes in “Inheritance” that even after writing deeply about her father, there was something she “could never quite fathom” about her relationship with her parents. “When I discovered as a teenager that he’d had a wife I’d never known about…I always longed to know more about that time in his life,” wrote Shapiro. To make him proud, after the fact,” Dani told the PBS NewsHour about her father, Paul Shapiro.Īmong the works that Shapiro penned for the father who raised her was a 1998 essay called the “Secret Wife,” about with her discovery that he had been wed to a woman who died just six months after they married. That has been one of the driving forces of my life as a writer. “My dad died before he had a chance to be proud of me. But she had long sought to better understand him through her writing before that moment. Years after her dad died, Dani Shapiro found out he was not her biological father.

In the former, too, “natural” assumptions must be questioned and the mythic basis of much so-called “fact” brought to light. If, as John Stuart Mill suggested, we tend to accept whatever is as natural, this is just as true in the realm of academic investigation as it is in our social arrangements. While the recent upsurge of feminist activity in this country has indeed been a liberating one, its force has been chiefly emotional-personal, psychological and subjective-centered, like the other radical movements to which it is related, on the present and its immediate needs, rather than on historical analysis of the basic intellectual issues which the feminist attack on the status quo automatically raises.1 Like any revolution, however, the feminist one ultimately must come to grips with the intellectual and ideological basis of the various intellectual or scholarly disciplines-history, philosophy, sociology, psychology, etc.-in the same way that it questions the ideologies of present social institutions.
