Ursula K. Le Guin was one of our most imaginative writers, a radical thinker, and a feminist icon. The interviews collected here span 40 years of her pioneering and prolific career.

“I learn more from her books at every stage of life than from any other writer.”  -  Neil Gaiman

When she began writing in the 1960s, Ursula K. Le Guin was as much of a literary outsider as one can be: she was a woman writing in a landscape dominated by men, she wrote genre at a time when it was dismissed as non-literary, and she lived out West, far from fashionable east coast literary circles. The interviews collected here – covering everything from her Berkeley childhood to her process of world-building; from her earliest experiments with genre to envisioning the end of capitalism – highlight that unique perspective, which conjured some of the most prescient and lasting books in modern literature.

“We can’t call Ursula K. Le Guin back from the land of the unchanging stars, but happily she left us her multifaceted work, her hard-earned wisdom and her fundamental optimism. Her sane, smart, crafty, and lyrical voice is more necessary now than ever.”  -  Margaret Atwood

"Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words."   -  Ursula K. Le Guin
