A collection of essays on life and literature, from one of the most iconic authors and astute critics in contemporary letters.
Words Are My Matter is essential reading: a collection of talks, essays, and criticism by Ursula K. Le Guin, a literary legend and unparalleled voice of our social conscience. Here she investigates the depth and breadth of contemporary fiction—and, through the lens of literature, gives us a way of exploring the world around us.
In “Freedom,” Le Guin notes: “Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now … to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom—poets, visionaries—realists of a larger reality.”
Le Guin was one of those authors and in Words Are My Matter she gives us just that: a vision of a better reality, fueled by the power and might and hope of language and literature.

科幻巨擘Ursula Le Guin的非小说文稿集。读起来非常有趣，里面有很多写给别的作者的书评，引言，以及散文等等。le guin的文字读起来轻松而睿智，有一种引人入胜的颅内高潮效果。强烈推荐。她的科幻作品多聚焦两性，也非常推荐

周末花了半天時間讀完，跳掉了一些我沒有看過的書的書評。她的散文一樣好看。

厄休拉勒古恩教我们如何培养想象力，如何阅读，如何写作，如何写书评！ 一本非常难得的书，书里太多受益匪浅的句子啦，我觉得我应该会看好多遍吧！
