	Author Q & A with Ursula Le Guin - Literary Fiction
		Ursula took time from her writing schedule to share a bit about her writing life and the art of writing.
		Ursula Le Guin: I have written a good deal about this, in my recent book The Wave in the Mind, and elsewhere.
		Ursula Le Guin: It is about a boy who grows up in slavery but doesn't realise anything's wrong about slavery, since he is treated almost as a member of the family -- until something goes very wrong indeed.

	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.

		LeGuin later wrote a remarkable story about her entitled "The Day Before the Revolution." She was an anarchist philosopher and rebel in the dictatorial state of A-IO on the planet of Urras.
		LeGuin acknowledges the reluctance of English-speakers to speak frankly about excretion by inventing her very own term for "toilet" (a word which originally means a table at which a woman applies make-up).
		LeGuin suggests that our inability to conceive of faster-than-light travel is a limitation of human science which might be overcome by a combination of elements from the Hainish, Earth humans, and the Anarresti and the Urrasti.

	Ursula LeGuin's Magical World of Earthsea
		Ursula K. LeGuin is usually labeled as a science fiction writer.
		546), LeGuin manufactures a world based on two of the main principles of Taoism: 1) the theory of inactivity in which one acts only when absolutely necessary, and 2) the relativity of opposites which is the belief that opposites are interdependent, and their interdependence results in the equilibrium (Spivack, pp.
		LeGuin seems to be portraying a feminist angle in questioning the traditional roles.

	Left Hand of Darkness - Study Guide
		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.
		LeGuin makes lavish use of alliteration, the repetition, at close intervals, of the initial consonant sounds as in bare bright or blinding biting, used to accentuate the poetry and the beauty of language, apart from the actual meaning of the words: "I felt a pang of pure pity for the man..
		LeGuin is ironic when she points out that here, on Earth, and mainly by males, it is considered natural and desirable to be in "kemmer," sexual heat, all the time.

	The Telling by Ursula LeGuin - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		Even with her previous track record as one of the finest writers of science fiction--writing, always, with unquestionable moral tenacity and grace--there was the fear that even LeGuin would falter against the temptation of easy accusations and shrillness against cardboard cutout bad guys.
		LeGuin has drawn on the cultural shifts in Maoist China as a taproot source for her extrapolation.
		This is intricately tied to the science fictional modes that she writes in; it is nearly inconceivable to think of the tropes taken away from her if the speculative, "unreal" elements were taken away from her.

		Ursula LeGuin reaches the full potential of science fiction and is my favorite author.
		While I fell in love with Ursula for her ability to transend social constructs and delve into the vary nature of the human condition, I must admit that her earlier work like the Earthsea novels are a real pleasure to read and have a timeless quality about them.
		I recall an essay by LeGuin, in which she mentioned an "uncle" who was a great influence on her as a child.

		Throughout, LeGuin explores the human fascination with and fear of death; she holds it up and looks at its different facets in the light like an archeologist studying the various sides of an ancient amulet.
		LeGuin's best novels--and this is one of them--stand on their own as works of literary art and explorations of the human condition.
		I agree up to a point with the other reviewer who mentioned that LeGuin seems to have reversed her position on the what afterlife is or should be.

	Anarchist review of The Dispossessed by Ursula LeGuin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		THE DISPOSSESSED is a classic of science fiction, and also one of the few novels, of any description, which deals honestly and openly with anarchist ideas, and, for this reason, is one of the most oft-cited influences on anarchists today.
		Another difference with conventional utopias is that LeGuin is not afraid to show flaws in the society she describes.
		Whether you agree with LeGuin's depiction of an anarchist society (and some might find it pessimistic), the power of her writing, the sympathetic characters, and the basic optimism of her vision, make it an inspiring read.

	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.

		In Ursula LeGuin's The Lathe of Heaven, this imperfect lifestyle is the foundation on which the desire for a utopian society sits.

	Tales From Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin
		To quote LeGuin, 'So these are reports of my explorations and discoveries: tales from Earthsea for those who have liked or think they might like the place, and who are willing to accept these hypotheses:-
		It also shows LeGuin's ability for multi-layered characters and includes plenty of high and low points, all of which are vital to short stories.
		I've never read anything by LeGuin before and although the author recommends you to read the previous Earthsea books, I think this is a good place to start if you are new to the series as it provides a good all round introduction to the world of Earthsea.
