Description
Ursula K. Le Guin's first full-length collection of essays explores the intersection of writing, science fiction, and fantasy. The book delves into her background as a writer and educator, as well as her advocacy for these genres as mediums for literary exploration. Le Guin's sharp voice shines through in this collection of twenty-four essays, covering topics such as her own writing process and the role of science fiction and fantasy in literature. The essays are introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a literary editor and feminist activist of the 1960s and '70s. This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into Le Guin's exceptional mind and the insights that remain relevant today.
