Adeline Knight:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Adeline Knight
I would travel to the planet Gethen, from Ursula Le Guin's feminist sci-fi novel The Left Hand of Darkness. She is one of my favourite authors of all time - in her work, she always manages to build worlds that are deeply strange, yet eerily mirror our own world in unsettling ways. I've also always been interested in how she was the daughter of two anthropologists, and as a social anthropologist myself, I can see how that outsider/observer gaze is an essential tool in both anthropology and writing fiction.
