Nor, for that matter, did I know about the further career of Ursula LeGuin’s “Loud Cows” which serves to open The Ethnography of Reading. When I first approached Ms. LeGuin about the piece—after she had read it at a benefit for the National Organization for Women—she insisted that she would only agree to publish it as the original written script, a condition I was more than happy to meet; yet now I learn it was later published in print.
