The Shame of Earthsea

Tue, 01/31/2006 - 10:50

I just read a great essay by Pam Noles about, among other things, the adaptation of "A Legend of Earthsea" by Ursula LeGuin by the SciFi channel last year. I read about this essay in BoingBoing, and there has been some interesting commentary on it.

It's really nice to read the perspective of another black woman sci-fi fan, there are so few of us. And she's a damn good writer, too.

    I never read Earthsea, so I didn't know it had been whitewashed when I watched the Sci-Fi series. I would not have watched had I been aware of the situation.
