Hardback. Condición: Good. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Related Book and the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay "The pages sparkle with lines that make a reader glance up, searching for an available ear with which to share them. . . " -- Melissa Febos, The New York Times Book Review  From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, a collection of literary essays--always adroit, often acerbic--on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le Guin on the absurdity of denying your age: "If I'm ninety and believe I'm forty-five, I'm headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub." On cultural perceptions of fantasy: "The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?" On breakfast: "Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime." Ursula K. Le Guin took readers to imaginary worlds for decades. In the last great frontier of life, old age, she explored a new literary territory in these powerful reflections on aging: the blog, a forum where she shined. The collected best of Ursula's blog, No Time to Spare presents perfectly crystallized dispatches and wisdom on life and writing that show what mattered to her late in life, her concerns with the world, and her wonder at it: "How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us." This essential collection delivers her sharp wisdom on the things that truly matter: Witty Nonfiction: Find out why eating a soft-boiled egg requires 'resolution, even courage' in essays that blend the profound with the perfectly mundane. Social Commentary: A sharp defense of fantasy as an escape toward freedom and a clear-eyed critique of a world obsessed with corporate growth. Feminist Essays: A clear-eyed look at the power of sisterhood, the pitfalls of literary 'greatness,' and the quiet strength of women. Essays About Cats: Meet Pard, the spirited feline companion whose antics--from hunting beetles to outsmarting a Time Machine--inspire meditations on life and communication.…

Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2017, No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters gathers the late-career blog essays and personal writings of acclaimed American author Ursula K. Le Guin. Originating from her personal website started in her eighties, the collection carries reflections on aging, the literary craft, feminism, social commentary, feline companionship, and the preservation of quiet contemplation in an increasingly frantic modern era. Karen Joy Fowler provides an introductory appreciation framing Le Guin's intellectual clarity and wit. Presented in a hardcover format with a quarter-cloth spine and an illustrated pictorial dust jacket designed by Martha Kennedy, the volume includes select line drawings and thematic vignettes by the author. The prose spans observational vignettes, philosophical musings, and incisive critiques of contemporary culture, capturing Le Guin's sharp humor and profound engagement with the natural and social world. Posthumously awarded the Pen/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay in 2018, the collection represents a culmination of Le Guin's non-fiction voice. Readers, literary scholars, and admirers of twentieth and twenty-first-century American prose study these essays for their lucid prose style, philosophical depth, and unvarnished perspective on growing old.…
