	Ursula LeGuin - A Wizard of Earthsea
		LeGuin was born October 21, 1929, the fourth child and only daughter of Alfred Kroeber, a noted anthropologist, and Theodora Kroeber, a psychologist and writer who collected Native American folktales and wrote the biography of a primitive individual plunged into the modern world.
		LeGuin then began working on a Ph.D. but met her husband (Charles A. LeGuin) on a trip to France in 1953 and married him that December.
		Ursula LeGuin works not with a theology but with an ecology, a cosmology, a reverence for the universe as a self-regulating structure.

		LeGuin is a subtle and powerful writer, and that, to be sure, comes through in full measure.

	URSULA K
		Ursula K. LeGuin draws a sharp line between herself as a person, woman, wife and mother and herself as a writer.
		LeGuin admits that her "first efforts to write science fiction were motivated by a pretty distinct wish to get published." Not having much hard-core scientific knowledge she wrote "fairy tales decked out in space suits." It paid: she got them published.
		LeGuin takes her idea of harmony between the male and female principles onto a national level: her planet Gethen reflects the integration of, and the balance between, the only two nations on the planet.

		Often compared to Tolkien's Middle-earth or Lewis's Narnia, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea is a stunning fantasy world that grabs quickly at our hearts, pulling us deeply into its imaginary realms.
		Ursula Le Guin's worldbuilding was masterful in the first book, and it's no less so in "Tombs of Atuan." The decayed, corrupted, darkness-obsessed religion and culture that Tenar is raised in seems very real.
		The plot follows Tenar, priestess slave of the nameless gods, who has been stripped of her name, which is restored by the wizard Ged in his quest for the other half of a mythical ring.

		Ursula K. LeGuin follows her classic trilogy from Earthsea with a magical tale that won the 1991 Nebula Award for Science Fiction.
		With 'Tehanu,' Ursula Le Guin makes the puzzling decision to extend the classic Earthsea trilogy into a quadrology (now since extended even further), crafting a book that is quite enjoyable, but wholly apart from the careful fabric of the original stories.

	Reviews -- Books -- Tehanu, by Ursula K LeGuin
		I can appreciate the effort LeGuin put into this novel, and the care and detail she puts into describing the characters and events, and it's all very believable and realistic...
		When I first read the novel in my teens I was bored speechless, skimmed much of it, found the ending entirely unsatisfying, and was glad LeGuin had wrapped up Earthsea after 3 novels and thought she should not have returned to it for a 4th.
		I can see why and how LeGuin wrote it, (largely to insert her born again feminist ideas and greater maturity into her old male-dominated world) and I can emphasize with her desire to show what happens to the characters in great sagas who don't go on to do anything amazing with their lives.

		This is the story of how Tenar came to understand that her life, all of what she had been and most of what she believed was a lie.
		LeGuin makes it utterly convincing, in a spare, terse way that is stark and persuasive.
		While not as detailed or as ornate as THE LORD OF THE RINGS, LeGuin's Earthsea Cycle is considered among the finest of the Sword and Sorcery classics.

	Raven's Reviews: Ursula K. Le Guin
		LeGuin is careful not to dehumanize anyone in these four novellas, which are almost another take on the Cetian question explored in The Dispossessed, but here she talks about the actual end of slavery and the people who still carry the memories inside of them.
		Beatifully lyrical and poignantly real, this was one of the better LeGuin novels, perhaps because she is not forced to extend the plots beyond their natural boundaries.
		Each novella is complete within itself but has ties to the others, mostly through places and events, or theme.
