Where does Takver come from?
Portland IndymediaAbout Takver, Ursula Le Guin, and anarchism
I take my net name - Takver - from the novel The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. The character of Takver is overshadowed by the protagonist, Shevek. The book is very much Shevek's story, yet the secondary characters, like Takver, Tirin, and Bedap, are just as important to the story and to Shevek's life. They are the ordinary people who strive for fullfillment in their lives with honesty, integrity and social conscience.
By adopting the name of Takver, I pay tribute to Ursula Le Guin and her humanism as a person and her skill and integrity as a writer. It is also an attempt to articulate that history is made by lots of ordinary people - not just governments, or the rich and famous.
