To think about fiction is to think about what lies before and beyond it. It is to think through conflicts and climaxes, heroes and villains, battles and fights, winners and losers. But to think about fiction with Ursula Le Guinn—author, speculator, creator of worlds—is to think through potatoes and oatmeal and gourds and pouches instead. We have been asked to consider and incorporate the hero (the protagonist, the winner, the fighter, the sword) and his conflict (his fight, his battle, his beast, his mammoth) into our stories since we were children. They are, after all, what makes fiction—or are they?

The Giant’s Foot Scrubber brings together works by Gianluca Crudele, Alice Dos Reis, Chan Ka Kiu, Sissi Kaplan, Andrew Luk that address the suspension of disbelief, the occult, and landscape
