Words Are My Matter. Writings on Life and Books: Le Guin Ursula K.

Hard times are coming, when we`ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies 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 . . .
Words Are My Matter is a selection of Ursula K. Le Guin`s best writing on literature, articulating with precision and passion her belief in the social and political value of storytelling - especially in hard times. In doing so, and with her characteristic spirit, Le Guin offers both a glimmer of hope and a set of operating instructions for a life lived with meaning.
