For a collection on "Knowledge and Failure in U.S. Cultural History," edited by Katharina Motyl and Regina Schober, I've written about Le Guin's "The Dispossessed," Lionel Trilling's Cold War liberalism, and the Socialist Calculation Debate. The entire volume is available online. Link in comment.

The first page of an academic article. The title is "An Ambiguous Utopia, after All: Ursula K. Le Guin, Lionel Trilling, and the Literary Knowledge of Utopian Failure." The author's name is Marlon Lieber. The epigraph is by Taylor Swift and reads "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
