The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction — Ursula K. Le Guin

This was my first introduction to Ursula K. Le Guin (via Rosalía's Popcast interview for LUX). This theory is now something I reference regularly in regards to holding complexity or paradox or the infinite nuances of what it looks like to be a human. Me and a friend have even started saying "Imma need a bigger bag for that" when talking about something that's changing our mind / challenging our preconceived ideas / etc.
