Ursula K. LeGuin, SciFi/Fantasy author, has passed away Jan. 22. I read only one of her novels: The Left Hand of Darkness, which I enjoyed.

Here is her obituary. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/...ed-for-her-fantasy-fiction-is-dead-at-88.html

Here is an article about her. https://www.theparisreview.org/inte...in-the-art-of-fiction-no-221-ursula-k-le-guin

I remember reading the Earthsea trilogy (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore) when I was a teenager and being enthralled by the world. She was a great writer in the science fiction and fantasy genre, and will be greatly missed.

In case you were not aware, she continued with the Earthsea series. After the trilogy came Tehanu, Dragonfly, and The Other Wind. Dragonfly is a short story that can now be found in Tales of Earthsea, which had other short stories that are also excellent, but not part of the main storyline.
