Years ago when I read this story for the first time, laughing out loud when I figured it out. Le Guin's genius lives on. What a treat to hear her read it! Thank you -
I’ve read lots of LeGuin but I don’t remember her being goofy. I do like her reading her works herself-not just because she’s good at it but you hear what she hears in her head while she’s writing.
Ursula LeGuin doesn't get enough credit for her sense of humor. This is a great Star Trek parody. The jokes are subtle, but hilarious when you catch them.
Love to hear this in her own voice, thank you for these uploads.

I love stories like this
Did she ever act? She's superb.

Mega Star Trek mood.
“I have the utmost faith in you almost”. Lol
I love this!

O dear. O dear.
Was this before the film Alien? Did they just swipe the whole ‘pregnancy as parasitic alien infection’ idea from her?
I like her narration but I couldn't tell if she was attempting a Russian or Scottish accent for the Engineer.
Probably Scot
Completely weird. Loved it.

Did this author go nuts or was she just drunk when she wrote this?
She's just having a blast. Her book on writing "Steering the Craft " invites having a little fun with speech-patterns and such.
