Ursula K. Le Guin was one of our most imaginative writers, a radical thinker, and a feminist icon. The interviews collected here span 40 years of her pioneering and prolific career.
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (1929-2018) was born in Berkeley, California
and lived in Portland, Oregon. She published more than twenty
novels, eleven volumes of short stories, six collections of essays,
twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of
translation.
David Streitfeld is the editor of The Last Interview books on
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Philip K. Dick, J.D. Slinger, and Hunter S.
Thompson. He is a reporter for The New York Times, where in 2013 he
was part of the team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory
Reporting. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his family
and too many books.
“I’ll miss her. Literature will miss her. There’s no one like her.”
—Zadie Smith
“She was one of the giants. A gifted storyteller, dedicated to her
art, she influenced a whole generation of writers who came after
her, including me.” —George R. R. Martin
“We can’t call Ursula K. Le Guin back from the land of the
unchanging stars, but happily she left us her multifaceted work,
her hard-earned wisdom and her fundamental optimism. Her sane,
smart, crafty, and lyrical voice is more necessary now than ever.”
—Margaret Atwood
“I learn more from her books at every stage of life than from any
other writer: she bears rereading well.” —Neil Gaiman
