In memoriam, Ursula K. Le Guin

[redbird]

Ursula Le Guin has died, sadly but not unexpectedly. Locus has an obituary, which is reasonably good though I disagree with them on what constitutes nonfiction (Dancing at the Edge of the World could be shelved there, or as poetry or fiction) but Always Coming Home, which I love enough to have had a heyiya-if tattooed on my arm, is fiction, whether or not it counts as a novel.

The New York Times obituary has more biographical detail (but a limit on how many articles they want to show you per month).

Unceasing, unending, unobstructed,
open, ongoing, incoming,
ever, ever, ever.
