UKL contributes to “The stars of modern SF pick the best science fiction ” at The Guardian.
“For this article on sf books in the Guardian , I agreed to write about a
book or writer that inspired or influenced my writing. I thought it
would be useful and refreshing to write about a writer not usually
thought of as having written fantasy or sf, who taught me a great deal
about writing them. But the headline calls it ‘Best SF,’ which isn’t,
I think, really what any of us was asked to write about.”

29 March 2010
From Steam Engine Time
At one level, Le Guin is a practising cultural
anthropologist who just happens to use fiction to
express her theories. At another level she’s a
storyteller who focuses on the tales told by
individuals — often mundane, often fragmentary,
and the anthropological elements are just aspects
of people’s lives. At yet another level, she
explores what fiction is and why it does what it
does. And at another level she entertains.

Thank you for the birthday wishes:
MANY THANKS to the many kind people who have been
wishing me a happy birthday! I should like to
quote Mr Bilbo Baggins on the occasion of his
eleventy-first:
“I am immensely fond of you all,
and eleventy-one years is too short a time to live
among such excellent and admirable hobbits. I
don't know half of you as well as I should like,
and I like less than half of you half as well as
you deserve.”
To which I add:
May you all live to your heart's desire, and have
fireworks by Gandalf on your birthday.
Love,
