Dancing at the Edge of the World

'A trove of delights' Los Angeles Times Books Review 'I have decided that the trouble with print is, it never changes its mind,' writes Ursula K. Le Guin in her introduction to Dancing at the Edge of the World. But she has. Here is the record of that change. Strong, supple, disciplined and playful, ranging over a vast field of concerns from modern literature to menopause, utopian thought to rodeos, this extraordinary collection reveals new sides to a trailblazing and beloved author with an eloquence, wit, and precision that makes for exhilarating reading. 'One of the literary greats of the twentieth century' Margaret Atwood

Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) was a trailblazing feminist science fiction author whose body of work includes novels, short stories, poetry, children's, five essay collections and works of translation. The breadth and imagination of her work, including the iconic fantasy series The Earthsea Cycle, which began in 1968, earned her countless literary awards. In 2014 she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and in 2016 joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetimes by the Library of America.
