The Left Hand of Darkness turns 50 this month, and @parisreview looks back at this book that still packs as much power as it did in 1969. 'It surprises me again every time I reread it… Le Guin’s language always startles me with its sheer wonder.' https://t.co/04sOlaEOgL

Through the approximately six-month schedule, we talk, at some points daily, and get to know one another quite well as work develops from idea… pic.twitter.com/zaoOHKdvYn

Did you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the inventors of the myth of the mummy's curse? @ElectricLit explains how the author was not a fan of Egypt, although 'cursed' artefacts often appeared in his novels. https://t.co/7vrrad5vQI
