Ursula Le Guin Has Earned a Rare Honor. Just Don't Call Her a Sci-Fi Writer.
Her 1899 house is shielded by pink, yellow and red roses. In the living room there is a volume of word puzzles on a table and the books Ms. Le Guin and her husband, Charles, a retired historian, are reading aloud at night ("Two Years Before the Mast" and the poetry of Theodore Roethke).

I am so very glad Le Guin is getting the attention she deserves. Her work is amazing, and just got better and better over the years.
I love Le Guin. Left Hand of Darkness was a huge influence on me. Her short stories are also amazing.
Le Guin is a mastermind!
My respect and admiration for this woman just quadrupled after reading this article.
