One thing that sucks about the Earthsea trilogy, if we're being fair, is that it skips over a lot of stuff that you'd want to hear. "Hey, it's Ged, and he did all kinds of amazing poo poo since you saw him last. This isn't that story, though. Instead we're going to follow some lame prince you won't care about."

I was in 8th grade and my teacher made us all read The Giver. When we got to the ending I waited after class and asked her why we didn’t just read Omelas because it was obviously the same story just told better and with less pages and she went “huh” so I went to the library and rented her the copy we had of sci-fi stories we had and it was probably the first time I watched an adult get their mind blown. A few years later I asked her about it and she said she pushed to change to curriculum but everyone said Omelas was ‘too sad’. Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jan 25, 2018 |

I'm genuinely bummed. She and Octavia butler are my favorite authors. Earthsea was one of those books I read as a fat angry friendless kid that helped me get through that poo poo.

The only work I've read of hers is the short story collection The Compass Rose. I found it at the salvation army for $1. The first story was far and away the best one. It's called The Author of the Acacia Seeds (And Other Extracts from the Journal of the Association of Therolinguistics). It takes place in a future where scientific understanding of animal languages is commonplace. Towards the end, a scientist speculates that soon they'll be communicating with plants, and in the future, possibly communicating with rocks. The piece really is spectacular and reaffirms my love for fiction. Check it out here: http://interconnected.org/home/more/2007/03/acacia-seeds.html quote:All we can guess is that the putative Art of the Plant is entirely different from the Art of the Animal. What it is, we cannot say; we have not yet discovered it. Yet I predict with some certainty that it exists, and that when it is found it will prove to be, not an action, but a reaction: not a communication, but a reception. It will be exactly the opposite of the art we know and recognise. It will be the first passive art known to us.

Ursula K. Le Guin was a brilliant person, and an extremely adept writer. She lived a good life, and many of us are better for it.

I bet she was already pre-spinning in her grave after that awful TV adaptation of Earthsea that made everybody super white.

i find books to be quite mundane. watch youtube videos on destroying ant-hills if you really want to be enriched.
