Ursula Le Guin RIP

Ursula K. Le Guin, a prolific novelist best known for the Earthsea series and The Left Hand of Darkness, died Monday at the age of 88. Across more than 20 novels and scores of short stories, Le Guin crafted fantastic worlds to grapple with profoundly difficult questions here on Earth, from class divisions to feminist theory.

Her son, Theo Downes-Le Guin, confirmed to NPR that she died at her home in Portland, Ore., where she lived with her husband of more than six decades. - NPR Web Site

I believe Ms Le Guin genuinely appreciated the attention of the LOA and the Orsinia writings they published. She did not live to see her entire ouevre published with LOA, but I am happy she had a taste.

A sorry loss indeed. From a comment made some time ago on here on LT, LOA intends to publish more of her works, as they very much deserve. Hopefully, they will resume soon.
