Mieville talks to Le Guin
Mar. 17th, 2009 09:12 pmI really enjoyed this morning's R4 programme, Ursula Le Guin at 80, which featured the eponymous writer in conversation with China Mieville.
Le Guin was just as wonderful and clever and funny and charming as I'd expected, while Mieville asked all the right questions with the air of suitably awestruck fan — there was a particularly nice little aside halfway through, in which Dr M managed to sound positively schoolboy-ish when unexpectedly confronted with the offer of a cup of PG Tips!
