Words Are My Matter
Downloadable audio file
When I'm writing non-fiction I have to be very aware of my tendency to let the words take their own course, leading me softly, happily, away from fact, away from rigorous connection of ideas, toward my native country, fiction and poetry, where truths are expressed and thoughts connected in an entirely different way.
WORDS ARE MY MATTER is a collection of essays, talks, journals and reviews from legendary author Ursula Le Guin. Collated from events and publications through the 21st Century and touching on subjects as wide ranging as Roe vs Wade and HG Wells, this beautiful compilation shines a light on Le Guin's belief in the enduring cultural and political importance of reading and writing, and the threats to both that we face.Buy now!
