Le Guin, Ursula K. / Escritor
A collection of essays on life and literature, from one of the most iconic authors and astute critics in contemporary letters.
Words Are My Matter is essential reading: a collection of talks, essays, and criticism by Ursula K. Le Guin, a literary legend and unparalleled voice of our social conscience.
Here she investigates the depth and breadth of contemporary fictionand, through the lens of literature, gives us a way of exploring the world around us.
In "Freedom," Le Guin notes: "Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now ... to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope.
We'll need writers who can remember freedompoets, visionariesrealists of a larger reality."
Le Guin was one of those authors and in Words Are My Matter she gives us just that: a vision of a better reality, fueled by the power and might and hope of language and literature.
