| The New York Review is pleased to present a selection of online discussions and seminars for November and beyond, featuring Fintan O’Toole, Daniel Mendelsohn, Edwin Frank, and more. Sign up at our links below. Edwin Frank on H.G. Wells and Ursula K. Le Guin Science fiction has exercised a powerful shaping influence on the modern political novel. H.G. Wells’s breakthrough novella The Time Machine exposes the mirage of progress and in The Island of Dr. Moreau, an inspiration for Conrad’s Heart of Darkness as well as Orwell’s Animal Farm, he depicts a dystopia driven both by colonialist exploitation and scientific enlightenment. Taking off from Wells, our final seminar will turn to Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, in which anarchist collectivism and capitalist liberalism vie in the infinitude of outer space. Edwin Frank is editor of the NYRB Classics series and the author of Stranger than Fiction: The Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel. Three one-hour sessions: November 3, 10, and 17. All sessions will start at 7 PM EST. Full members and auditors will have access to recordings of each session, which may be viewed after the live sessions conclude. Our next panel discussion with Fintan O’TooleThe Emergency Court |
