Ursula K. Le Guin

The latest guest on Crafting with Ursula is award-winning children’s book author William Alexander (

), who talks with David Naimon about imagination, realism, Ursula’s writing for and about young readers, the meaning of dragons, & much more. tinhouse.com/podcast/crafti

"This has always been my discomfort with realism; that at least by my reading, realism has always communicated to me an implicit assumption that things have to be the way they are, that these are the boundaries of the real, this is what we can imagine, and that the most important thing we can do is to excavate as fully as possible what we already know to be definitely the case.” — William Alexander, on Crafting with Ursula, hosted by David Naimon
