Lois McMaster Bujold:
When you first created Barrayar way back, did you think it would be interesting to make the cultural conservatives sort of pro abortion, and the Galactics sort of anti? I know this oversimplified, hence the sort ofs.

No.
What drives the differences in the cultural choices is not ideology, but technology (and its partner economics) which both creates and constrains the ambit of the possible. For all cultures, not just fictional ones.

Hello Lois I thought the first Penric anthology looked a little underrated on Amazon.es (Amazon Spain) so I thought I´d add this review (in Spanish) under Clariana: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/1982124296?pf_rd_p=17a988a6-15ad-46df-8d9f-8365d36240ce&pf_rd_r=NAMA654AE8ECH1RKHT29 Do you have a Spanish translator for the Penric novellas yet?

Hi Lois! My student Pablo Sánchez's BA dissertation on 'Ethan of Athos' can be found here: http://ddd.uab.cat/record/180123. He's about to publish this in Spanish, in the online journal Hélice. And I'm teaching right now your novel to my English Studies undergrad students here at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Any message for them? Best wishes, Sara
