What They're Saying
Critics Review
“I’ll miss her. Literature will miss her. There’s no one like her.” —Zadie Smith
“She was one of the giants. A gifted storyteller, dedicated to her art, she influenced a whole generation of writers who came after her, including me.” —George R. R. Martin
“We can’t call Ursula K. Le Guin back from the land of the unchanging stars, but happily she left us her multifaceted work, her hard-earned wisdom and her fundamental optimism. Her sane, smart, crafty, and lyrical voice is more necessary now than ever.” —Margaret Atwood
“I learn more from her books at every stage of life than from any other writer: she bears rereading well.” —Neil Gaiman
