Episode 30 – She Unnames Them by Ursula K. Le Guin
August 26, 2019 by Mangum Reads
We take another dive into a biblically related extremely short story. This time we are reading the grand dame of science fiction Ursula K. Le Guin’s ‘She Unnames Them’. We get a very quick glimpse into juxta-Eden world following the naming of all the animals by Adam. We try and figure out the purpose and the nature of Eve’s ‘unnaming’ of the animals and what that means.
