The Baby on the Fire Escape by Julie Phillips contains an Ursula K. Le Guin anecdote I feel I should have encountered before, but no, I'd never heard this one. (It's a brilliant book, though I must warn you it might induce rage on behalf of those who were forced to navigate those unforgiving times.)
She also told me the part about getting into an argument with her doctor about the need for family planning and having to stop herself from calling him an asshole.
I finished The Baby on the Fire Escape last year 😇 currently reading the James Tiptree, Jr biography, such a fascinating life as well, and your writing and narrative structuring are always superb!
