LE GUIN--Ursula K. The American Academy of Arts and Letters notes with sorrow the death of this peerless literary stylist, social critic, and storyteller who pushed against the confines of science fiction with a fierce egalitarianism and remarkable gift of language.

Dear Ursula LeGuin: YOU ROCKED MY WORLD! over and over and over again! You opened my HEAD to new horizons about ecology, nature/nurture/"civilization and its discontents", about gender spectrum, about biology, about human relations to the cosmos, about what it might mean to be a THINKING human species of femina sapiens sapiens. MANY thanks from here to infinity! Patricia Falcao, MD, MPH, Boston

You are the most important voice to have come out of the 20th century. Your writing is multidimensional and relevant. Your work will guide human beings into a future that affords them choices for a more illumined social order. The Telling and Tehanu are your most important works. They reach into the soul of human society through characters that are breathingly whole. The Fisherman of the Inland Sea and churten technology are prophetic and console our imagination. Your generosity as a writer...

She was a recent acquaintance. A few years. Life is better since I have known her. She understood. She was in the struggle - till the end. I have lost a friend. I grieve. I salute. Her. Her life. Her work. Words. I and so many are lucky. That we have her words. To live with. To live by. Salute!
