I’m rereading The Telling by #UrsulaLeGuin after many years. In the background of my mind I keep thinking:
She knew. She knew and she told us again and again. She knew and was not afraid to tell us.
I want to weep. #amreading@bookstodon
From the book that made me the rabid sci-fi fan I am.
“To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”
―Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
Soon, The Language of the Night will be available once again! Ursula's 1979 collection of essays will be reissued by Scribner on May 14th, with a new introduction from author Ken Liu.
Thrilled to see the news that Rebecca Campbell's 'Arboreality' has won the 2023 Ursula K Le Guin Prize for Fiction. I wrote about this wonderful book of linked short stories back in July and I think it beautifully carries on the ideas Le Guin explored in her own work.
