Author Ursula K. Le Guin Has Passed
As I read today’s news, I had to ask myself: was there a better American author in Fantasy or Science Fiction than Ursula K. Le Guin? With multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and The Newbery Medal, what a literary legacy she left!
This giant of 20th Century American Literature passed away yesterday. She was 88.
Her Earthsea Trilogy is without question the fiction work I love best. I devoured those three delightful tomes in a very short span while in high school.
It’s no exaggeration to say that her writing helped shape my views of the world more than anything outside the Bible. And I’ve no cause now, these many years later, to call into question the things I came to believe about life and human existence from her remarkable work.
Only in silence, the word. Only in dark, the light. Only in dying, life: bright the hawk’s flight on the empty sky. The Creation of Éa
Rest In Peace, Ursula. I’m sailing for #Earthsea at first light.
