520 "From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, and with an
introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, a collection of thoughts
--always adroit, often acerbic--on aging, belief, the
state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula
K. Le Guin has taken readers to imaginary worlds for
decades. Now she's in the last great frontier of life, old
age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a
forum where her voice -- sharp, witty, as compassionate as
it is critical -- shines. No Time to Spare collects the
best of Ursula's blog, presenting perfectly crystallized
dispatches on what matters to her now, her concerns with
this world, and her wonder at it. On the absurdity of
denying your age, she says, "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 her new cat: "He still
won't sit on a lap" --|cProvided by publisher.
