bibliogrammaUrsula Le Guin: Conversations on Writing is the last published book to which Le Guin was an active participant - her death came, says collaborator David Naimon - as the final corrections to the manuscript were being discussed and approved or changed. In a way, how like Le Guin, who retired from writing major pieces of fiction a few years back, to still be involved in communicating her thoughts literally up to the day of her death.
The book arose from a series of interviews Naimon conducted with Le Guin on her writing - fiction, non-fiction, and poetry - but they cover in fact a wide range of topics associated with writing, literature, and ideas. Conversation between Le Guin and Naimon is interleaved with illustrative selections from both her work and the work of others.
Here you will hear the names of writers and philosophers that influenced Le Guin’s thought and craft, and the authors she recommends as teachers of a particular approach to writing, or piece of craft. And her own ideas of how to write, her craft and her art. Nd you will wish she could have tarried with us forever.
