RE: My Tribute to Ursula LeGuin, Who Wrote Some of the First Books I Cared About Reading

in #tributes7 years ago

A moving piece, thank you for this.
Extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Ursula K Le Guin, and on the day after I finally got around to reading The World For World is Forest. One of big, dreaming trees has fallen.
She was a supporting column of the genre, on equal footing and bearing equal weight to Verne or Wells or Heinlein or Bradbury. Losing her is like losing one of the great sequoia.
Her books were the first by a female SF writer I read when I was a kid. It was a revelation
May her soul rest in piece
