Firstly - Thank you to NetGalley for this opportunity to read and review The Language of the Night: Essays on Writing, Science Fiction, and Fantasy by Ursula K. Le Guin
I first learned of Ursula K. Le Guin in one of my Anthropology courses and immediately fell in love with her work. So, as soon as I saw The Language of the Night on NetGalley I knew I had to request it. I was floored, excited and felt so honored when the request was approved. Her work always inspires me and really makes me think and this collection of essays did not disappoint. One of my favorite things is Ursula K. Le Guin acknowledges her evolution as an author and human and isn’t afraid to say she was wrong or that her beliefs have changed. That is such a rarity in today’s society and is so refreshing to see. While I don’t have too much experience with the science fiction genre, I feel that there is still so much wisdom to be gained and applied to my own life and writing journey.
