I so wishI had the chance to meet her in life, but I feel as if I have, through all her writing. It's so good to see interviews like this. She really inspired me so much in my life, not only in writing, but in my understanding of life. I will never have an experience of life on earth that was not touched by this woman.

This is crazy. I haven't read a single book of hers. I just read a quote of her and used it in my shortfilm. I then googled her and wanted to know about her. For some reason I saw this whole interview. It is really great. I'm gonna check out her books.

I wrote to her in 2016, telling her how much I loved the Earthsea Cycle. I wasn't expecting her to reply at age 86, and as such a well-known author, but she was kind enough to do so. She passed away two years later. I'll keep that letter forever!
@squamish42449 ай бұрын
Huh. She didn't write her classic series of books, The Left Hand of Darkness, the first Earthsea trilogy, the Lathe of Heaven, The Word for World is Forest and The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas until she was in her late 30s-mid 40s. That's encouraging :)

well I've probably read 10,000 books in my life so far, and although I am sort of beyond the notion of having favorites, still I would say she is probably my favorite author, or certainly one of the top 2 or 3.

always coming home is one of the most beautiful and heart-moving books i've ever read. i know people find it hard to get into, as i did too, because it's unlike anything else. but i promise it's very worth it to get to the end. there's a sense of coming full circle, as is natural to the theme and form of the book. i would add to le guin's explanation of the title that, for me, it depicts humans coming home to the essence of humanity, and that is the dancing of groupness and individuality in flow with nature, time, stories, work, conflict, peace. it is a place where humans have lived before and humans will live there again.

this is great. the interviewer makes this unique not only in her homely personality but she comes across as good faith, as a sort of genuine fan and layman with her own ideas, but still aware she's a layman. "and people who are watching can see that a creative personality is kind of fun to be, i think you might say that?" is such a cute and authentic way to end the interview.

@@contrarian9999 men are physically more able, on average and have far greater flexibility than women with kids... but.... both men and women have to compete and are competing for the same jobs. be it medicine, law, business, management, engineering, military, politics, etc (hence labour participation of women is 47%). it's absolutely obtuse to suggest that women are nowhere close to trying to compete with men. you really have no excuse to be this ignorant.
