Cheek by Jowl : Talks & Essays on How & Why Fantasy Matters

Aqueduct Press is pleased to announce the release of Cheek by Jowl, a collection of talks and essays on

how and why fantasy matters, by Ursula K. Le Guin. In these essays, Le Guin argues passionately that the

homogenization of our world makes the work of fantasy essential for helping us break through what she calls

''the reality trap.'' Le Guin writes not only of the pleasures of her own childhood reading, but also about what

fantasy means for all of us living in the global twenty-first century.
