Words are my matter : writings about life and books, 2000-2016 with a journal of a writer's week / Ursula K. Le Guin.
"Words Are My Matter: Writings About Life and Books, 2000-2016 with a Journal of a Writer’s Week is a bright and wide-ranging collection of essays, reviews, talks, and more from one of our best and most thoughtful writers. '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 collects talks, essays, introductions to beloved books, and book reviews by Ursula K. Le Guin, one of our foremost public literary intellectuals. Words Are My Matter is essential reading. It is a manual for investigating the depth and breadth of contemporary fiction — and, through the lens of deep considerations of contemporary writing, a way of exploring the world we are all living in. 'We need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art. Developing written material to suit sales strategies in order to maximise corporate profit and advertising revenue is not the same thing as responsible book publishing or authorship.' Le Guin is one of those authors and this is another of her moments." -- Provided by publisher.
