”El ejercicio de la imaginación es peligroso para quienes obtienen ganancias del ‘modo en el que son las cosas’, porque tiene el poder de mostrarnos que el ‘modo en el que son las cosas’ no es permanente, ni universal, ni necesario.”

Gerade versucht im Roman der urrasische (/urrasianische?) Arzt verzweifelt zu erklären, warum Männer sich nicht auf das Niveau von Frauen herablassen sollten. Ursula K LeGuin ist echt witzig!

“I was in love with the book. In pure, ignorant defiance of the decree of the Iowa Writing School that controls almost all modern fiction, Galt tells without showing.”

What a combination 👌

"Hate Orgoreyn? No, how should I? How does one hate a country, or love one? [...] I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks [...] but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply?"

I wonder what Ursula K. le Guin would say about a civilization where the fever dreams of machines powered by the decaying organic matter of ancient organisms are the hottest product on the market.
Maybe she won't say anything. She would write a story exploring her own thoughts about the subject. A story like "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" that will keep generations of philosophers and ethicists thinking.

Ursula Le Guins Thema war das einer besseren Welt als Normalzustand für alle, und damit ist sie die wohl vornehmste Zeugin dessen, was die Science Fiction zu erreichen vermag. #sfcd #sciencefiction #ursulakleguin

Listened to the first episode of the new podcast "In Your Spare time: From the blog of Ursula K. Le Guin", where #ursulakleguin s blog is read out by different people.
The first episode featured #davidmitchell , who read her first blog post and then told about his relationship to LeGuins work and to her personally as well. Very nice and interesting!
Look forward to the coming episodes.
I highly recommend!

CW for spoiler. A recent conversation on here led me to reread Ursula K. Leguin's novelette The Women Men Don't See, which anticipated the man/bear encounter question by many years with extraterrestrial creatures instead of bears, but the moral is the same.

Saddest February of my life - mirroring that I did not finish a single book!! Read the one because I adore the [more recent, as I do know now] books of Ursula K. LeGuin. Read quite some and finally wanted to dive into the #Hainish Cycle, she didn't like to call it that btw, this would be no 1 - but I just can't.
She herself later in her life said that she wrote like men in the beginning, bc she didn't know it better then - and I agree. A boring male writers' writing.
