Description
Ursula K. Le Guin's No Time to Spare Thinking about what Matters is a collection of thought-provoking essays that explore the author's concerns with the world and her wonder at its complexity. Written in her characteristic style, these dispatches offer a unique perspective on aging, belief, literature, and the state of the nation.
The book presents a series of perfectly crystallized reflections on the human experience, from the absurdity of denying one's age to the importance of embracing freedom and knowledge. With characteristic wit and acerbic insight, Le Guin shares her thoughts on the role of fantasy in culture and the simple joys of everyday life, such as the act of eating an egg from the shell.
First published in 2017, No Time to Spare Thinking about what Matters is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most beloved and respected authors of our time.
