This is my first book for 2018, just finished last night. I was, and still am, reading another book at the same time, but for the first book of the year, this one seemed the most appropriate. It's not just because I am a big Le Guin and have been since high school, it's also because her work has always been a touchstone in my life, from The Dispossessed and Left Hand of Darkness and Language of the Night and ... (insert a string of titles here ) all read and reread I don't know how many times. I wrote my dissertation on her rhetorical use of myth.I recognized, and still recognize, myself in her stories and essays and I did, again here, in this beautiful collection of short essays and musings, in which she is examining "the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where her voice--sharp, witty, as compassionate as it is critical--shines" (front cover). The subject matter ranges questions from readers, her cat, Pard, turning 80+, faith and belief, among others. She writes, as always, with grace and style. Her prose is beautiful. As Michael Chabon says, "As a deviser of worlds, as a literary stylist, as a social critic and as a storyteller, Le Guin has no peer" (back cover).My love affair continues.Highly recommended.
Do you realize how many books, and in how many genres, poet-fiction writer-essayist Ursula JK. Le Guin has published to date? Using the listing in the front of her latest collection, there are 23 works of fiction (novels and short stories, some of them extraordinarily influential), eleven books of poems (and a twelfth is mentioned in a piece in this book), and two volumes of translations (of Lao Tzu and Gabriela Mistral). She’s a force! And as in a collection of occasional pieces I just reviewed by polymath Umberto Eco (Chronicles of a Liquid Society), even her most occasional postings have substance. Reaching her early and then mid-eighties, she decides to venture into blogging. She posts sage to pithy comments on a wide range of topics, from the ups and downs of aging (read her assessment of the Harvard alumni survey), to the joys of raising a kitten to adult cathood. She writes: “I’ve lost faith in the saying ‘You’re only as old as you think you are,’ ever since I got old. â€She takes on the current fascination with the two most common cuss words, one dealing with procreation (but not really procreation, really with dominance and battering), the other with excretion. On being a writer, she notes that meaning in art isn’t the same as in science: “The meaning of the second law of thermodynamics … isn’t changed by who reads it, or when, or where. The meaning of Huckleberry Finn is…. Art is what an artist does, not what an artist explains…. All I expect of a good potter is to go and make another good pot.†There are sage comments on the craft of writing, on how being a woman writer discriminates against one in a still male dominated publishing and critics’ world. She asks why we never question the desirability of economic growth. And in a follow-up essay asks, “when did it become impossible for our government to ask its citizens to refrain from short-term gratification in order to serve a greater good?†(This is as close as she comes to an environmentalist critique in these short essays.) There is a lovely doggerel verse for her cat. (“His paws are white, his ears are black. / When he isn’t around I feel the lack……â€) Praise of a John Luther Adams piece. A visit to the Food Bank in Portland, Oregon. Meditations on a lynx, caged up in a wild life museum…. If you like good writing, and following the workings and musings of a sharp, oftimes witty, always observant mind at work, you’ll enjoy and admire these essays. I know I did.
These are collected blog posts, mostly, on a variety of subjects. I'm an older woman, and reading it was like sitting and talking with a dear friend. I suspect it will not seem so sharp, and funny, and wise to others. If you ARE an old lady, get this book. You will not be sorry.
We all lost an important voice for sanity and compassion when Ursula Le Guin died yesterday. All of her writing — essays, poetry, fiction, blog entries — showed the same compelling passion and sharp insight. This wonderful book is comprised of entries on her blog over a period of time. Whether she writes about her cat, her writing itself, or the state of the world, she does so with an acute understanding that will only enlighten readers.
Ursula Le Guin is a remarkably prolific and varied writer, and a deep thinker. She's written dozens of novels that are masterful (mistressful?) -- exciting and thought provoking, several volumes of poetry and even a couple of translations. Now we are presented with this wonderful gift -- a collection of essays about aging, art, cats and the meaning of life.As the author pioneers her eighties, she introduces the book with admiration for Jose Saramago and her exploration of a new frontier -- blogs.Some people are calcified and old at thirty; some, like Le Guin, are spring chickens at eighty. These essays address an interesting array of topics. I find LeGuin to be honest and fair. Sometimes cynicism marks an observation, but who can traverse this world without sometimes being disappointed? Equally often she registers great optimism and hope.America is not a country that values its elders. That is a pity because it means a lot of wisdom is ignored. I hope the words of someone of Le Guin's reputation and popularity will not fall on deaf ears. These are things we should hear, things we should consider, and this author is someone worth listening to.These are short essays, easy to read in a few minutes and provocative enough to keep you thinking. Great reading material for bedtime or when you just have a few minutes to read (but a lifetime to consider).
