Featuring a new introduction by Ken Liu, this revised edition of Ursula K. Le Guins first fulllength collection of essays covers her background as a writer and educator, on fantasy and science fiction, on writing, and on the future of literary science fiction.We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks to the language of the night. Ursula K. Le GuinLe Guins sharp and witty voice is on full display in this collection of twentyfour essays, revised by the author a decade after its initial publication in 1979. The collection covers a wide range of topics and Le Guins origins as a writer, her advocacy for science fiction and fantasy as mediums for true literary exploration, the writing of her own major works such as A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness, and her role as a public intellectual and educator. The book and each thematic section are brilliantly introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a professor at the University of British Columbia and a literary editor and feminist activist during the 1960s and 70s.A fascinating, intimate look into the exceptional mind of Le Guin whose insights remain as relevant and resonant today as when they were first published.
