Paperback
Publication Date: 01/06/2010
What can you give a writer who has everything? In 2009, Ursula K. Le Guin turned 80. For decades, she has shared with all her readers the gift of her writing. In return, Kim Stanley Robinson wanted to give her a very special present: a "Festschrift," a privately commissioned, sumptuously bound anthology of pieces written in her honor. Karen Joy Fowler and Debbie Notkin gathered personal essays, poems, stories, and academic articles from readers and writers who love Le Guin's work. The presentation copy of this book, hand-bound in rich green leather, was given to Le Guin for her eightieth birthday. What can you give the reader who has everything Le Guin wrote? Ursula K. Le Guin generously agreed to the wider publication of this book. Now you can read her birthday present. Among many other pieces, the volume includes: Personal Essays by Eileen Gunn, Ellen Kushner, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Nisi Shawl Fiction by Andrea Hairston, John Kessel, and Sheree Renée Thomas Poetry by Richard Chwedyk and Karen Joy Fowler Thoughtful discussions of individual works by Gwyneth Jones, Lisa Tuttle, and Jo Walton A private gift to Ursula K. Le Guin becomes a gift to all readers, an exciting chance to enjoy someone else's birthday present! Book jacket.
