Best known for her speculative fiction, Ursula K. LeGuin’s writing career spanned over 60 years, gathering along the way numerous Hugo, Nebula and Focus awards. She’s been described as “a major voice in American letters” and been an important influence to such luminaries as Salman Rushdie and Neil Gaiman. But Le Guin is a writer of non-fiction as well and her sparkling essays on aging, beauty and her beloved cats, are not to be missed.
