review 1: Amazing. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to read this book specifically for the essay "Staying Awake While We Read." The story by which the book is titled is haunting and engrossing. I had to finish it in one siting. The poetry is beautiful and powerful. Finally...

review 1: In the introduction to this books Le Guin mentions how she likes to use characters who normally wouldn't get a say to tell a story. This is an ingenious approach that never fails to create a unique perspective. Not only does it make for fabulous fiction but it is an important soc...

review 1: This small book is a collection of a short story, two essays, and poems by Le Guin as well as an interview. While enjoyed the Nebula winning short story (same title as the book) it was Le Guin's essay, "Staying Awake While We Read" that really got me thinking. What are the value...

review 1: In The Tales of Earthsea, Ursula has a few words to say about the transition from where The Farthest Shore ended into where Tehanu and The Other Wind went. I guess it sound like an apology to Ged's followeres, but it makes sense. People are people, and change is almost always ine...

English

review 1: Engaging, sweet and simple in its winsome charms, “Cat Dreams” fills its pages with convincingly painted felines and soft pastels, all in the dream of a single calico cat. The large letters and uncomplicated prose leap and cavort on the pages, following the curves of the illustr...

review 1: The Best of the Beginning and the Latest Poetry from Ursula Le Guin"Finding My Elegy" is a literary celebration of Ursula Le Guin's decades-long oeuvre in poetry, demonstrating that she is as much a master of this genre as she is of speculative fiction and fantasy. If nothing els...
