“Ms. Le Guin has to be accounted a science fiction writer because most of her short stories rocket about outer space, but her knack of translating recognizable states of mind into fantastic action brings her close to the old fairy tale field. She is the ideal science fiction writer for readers who ordinarily dislike science fiction.”

—Atlantic

“One of our finest projectionists of brave old and other worlds.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“[Ursula K. Le Guin] examines the most public of politics and the most intimate of emotions, constantly challenging her readers to reconsider what it means to be human and humane.”

—Mary Doria Russell

“[E]verything Le Guin does is interesting, believable, and exquisitely detailed.”

—Los Angeles Herald Examiner

“Ursula Le Guin is more than a writer of adult fantasy and science fiction . . . she is a philosopher, an explorer in the landscapes of the mind.”

—Cincinnati Enquirer

“For a number of years the only science fiction I read was that of Ursula K. Le Guin. I don’t read science fiction anymore, though I wouldn’t think of missing a book of Le Guin’s. She has transcended the genre to become what it was clear she would become: our wise-woman, our seeress, a writer of infinite range and power. . . . This woman can do anything! Long may she continue to do it all.”

—Carolyn Kitzer
