Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Ursula K(roeber) Le Guin (1929-) American writer of science fiction and fantasy. Le Guin's fame has extended beyond the genre boundaries. Her thought-provoking novels include The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, as did The Dispossessed (1974). Her celebrated Earthsea books, which were written for young adults, have been compared to C.S. Lewis 's Narnia chronicles and Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings . Le Guin has won several Hugo and Nebula Awards for her short fiction, and the National book award for children's literature for her novel The Farthest Shore (1972), part of her Earthsea trilogy. "Oh, damn. She liked the young, and there was always something to learn from a foreigner, but she was tired of being on view. She learned from them, but they didn't learn from her; they had learnt all she had to teach long ago, from her books, from the Movement. They just came to look, as if she were the Great Tower in Rodarred, or the Canyon of the Tulaevea. A phenomenon, a monument." (from 'The Day Before the Revolution', the Nebula Award in 1974)

She has also published poetry and short story collections, and she received the Pilgrim Award in 1989 for her critical writings. Ursula K. Le Guin Website Chris Moore Advertisement document.write(''); Ursula K. Le Guin has something of the quality of legend. She is the author of novels that are among the foundation stones of modern SF and Fantasy; her writing is extraordinarily wise and graceful, a salient influence on the style and subject matter of the speculative genres since the late 60s; she has won innumerable literary awards, and in the last twelve years has been revisiting in a fascinating manner the fictional milieux that generated her early and her lasting fame... Le Guin wears many creative hats: as poet, essayist, translator, writer for young children, illustrator, mainstream literary author; but it is surely in her Fantasy and SF that her especial genius resides.

Extractions: Ursula K. Le Guin is one of the most important and respected authors of science fiction and fantasy working today, and a rare writer for being equally accomplished in both arenas. Though her work in the fantasy field has hardly been confined to any particular series or setting, Le Guin's fame as a fantasy writer rests largely on her popular and influential Earthsea books. Initially the Earthsea sequence consisted of three short novels: A Wizard of Earthsea The Tombs of Atuan (1971), and The Farthest Shore (1972). Many years later Le Guin returned to Earthsea for a fourth book, Tehanu, subtitled "The Last Book of Earthsea." If Tehanu truly is the last novel Le Guin will set in her best-known fantasy world, her offering in Legends "Dragonfly" will be all the more welcome as a rare chance to revisit the land of Earthsea.

She said she did not remember what had happened, but once she said, "When Jade found me." They asked what she meant and she did not answer. But Jade heard of this, and he went to the heyimas and talked to people there, telling them a true account. Then he left Chukulmas and went up on the Mountain to the Springs, and then went to live in the Lower Valley. He lived outside of Tachas Touchas as a forest-living person. He did not dance, and did not enter his heyimas. At the time of the Moon dancing he always went up into the southwest ranges. One time he did not come back. Withy lived in Chukulmas until she was old. She wore a mask outside the house to hide her face from children. from Always Coming Home The science fiction and fantasy novels of Ursula LeGuin , b.

Extractions: Before they put a man on the moon, there was Ursula K. Le Guin. Before Star Wars , there was Le Guin. A writer best known for breaking into the guys' club of science fiction, and for sending fantasy on new flights, she also has had a career of dazzling depth and breadth, writing short stories for The New Yorker and doing a translation of the central text of Taoism. She has produced mainstream fiction, poetry, children's books and essays, and two years ago, to sum it all up, she put her thoughts on writing in a book called, in fitting space-age lingo, Steering the Craft In her writing, Le Guin inhabits alternate realities. But she lives in Portland, Oregon, in a Victorian with a carefully tended perennial garden. It is an unassuming home she has shared since 1960 with her husband, Charles, now a retired history professor, in a city neighborhood that in the past decade has gone from fixer-upper status to out-of-this-world prices.

Extractions: As a reader, I have a complicated relationship with Ursula Kroeber Le Guin, the writer. It seems she's always one step ahead of me, reflecting my feelings and passions in her fiction. I read the young-adult "Earthsea" books while grappling with adolescent angst. I found my own deeply held social justice convictions explored in her science fiction of the 1970s and '80s. Her collections of short stories were required vacation reading, when I had the leisure to admire her lyrical style and glory in how she puts words together. Le Guin once said, "The writer cannot do it alone. The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story." Given the way her stories have fired my imagination, it's vaguely disappointing to meet Le Guin. She stands a trim 5-foot-4, with white hair and a ready smile. I expect a literary giant to be bigger somehow, to take up more space and oxygen. I expect erudite conversation, but she peppers her speech with "ums," run-on sentences, fragments and common phrases like "Oh, golly!" just like the rest of us.
