책소개
Praise for Ursula K. Le Guin:
"I read her nonstop growing up and read her still. What makes her so extraordinary for me is that her commitment to the consequences of our actions, of our all too human frailties, is unflinching and almost without precedent for a writer of such human optimism."?Junot Diaz
"A lot of her work is about telling stories, and what it means to tell stories, and what stories look like. She's been extremely influential on me in that area of what I, as a beginning writer, thought a story must look like, and the much more expan-sive view I have now of what a story can be and can do."?Karen Joy Fowler
"She was and remains a central figure for me."?Michael Chabon
Ursula K. Le Guin is one of our foremost public literary intellectuals and this collection of her recent talks, essays, introductions, and book reviews is the best manual we have for traveling the worlds explored in recent fiction; the most useful guide to the country we're visiting, life.
Ursula K. Le Guin was born in Berkeley, California, in 1929. Among her honors are the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, a National Book Award, the Hugo, Nebula, and Kafka awards, a Pushcart Prize, and the Harold D. Vursell Me-morial Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She lives in Portland, Ore-gon.

저자소개
어슐러 K. 르 귄(지은이)
1929년 10월 21일 미국 캘리포니아주에서 태어났다. 저명한 인류학자인 아버지와 인류학과 심리학을 공부한 작가인 어머니의 영향을 받아 일찍부터 글을 쓰기 시작했고, SF와 환상세계를 넘나들며 관습을 뒤흔들고 경계를 깨는 작품을 다수 집필했다. 1969년에 출간한 『어둠의 왼손』으로 휴고상과 네뷸러상을 수상하며 명성을 얻었고, ‘어스시’ 시리즈, ‘헤인 우주’ 시리즈, ‘서부 해안 연대기’ 등을 포함하여 수많은 작품을 발표했다. 휴고상을 8회, 네뷸러상을 6회, 로커스상을 24회 수상하는 등 유수의 문학상을 휩쓸며 독자와 평단의 인정을 받았다. 2003년에는 SF와 판타지 소설에 기여한 공로를 인정받아 미국 SF 판타지 작가 협회로부터 ‘그랜드마스터’ 칭호를 받았다. 소설뿐만 아니라 시, 평론, 수필, 동화, 각본, 번역, 편집 등 다양한 분야에서 활동했으며 2014년 전미도서상 공로상을 수상했다. 2018년 1월 22일 향년 88세의 나이로 별세했다. 르 귄은 언제나 적극적으로 더 나은 인간이 되고자 하는 인물이었다. SF와 페미니즘을 접목하는 흐름의 선두에 있었으며, 작품을 통해 이방인을 우리의 세계로 불러들이는 시도를 계속했다. 사고실험에 가까운 르 귄의 작품들은 인종과 젠더, 종족을 가르는 선을 지우며 오늘날까지도 우리에게 유효한 충격을 주고 있다.
