'One of the literary greats of the twentieth century' Margaret Atwood

Ursula Le Guin took readers to imaginary worlds for decades. In her last great frontier of life, old age, she explored a new literary territory: the blog, a forum where she shined.

The collected best of Ursula's blog, No Time to Spare presents perfectly crystallised dispatches on what mattered to her late in life, her concerns with the world, and her wonder at it.

Ursula 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.'
