$ 722 元 原價 722

A private gift to Ursula K. Le Guin becomes a gift to all readers, an exciting chance to enjoy someone else’s birthday present. In 2009, for the momentous occasion of Ursula K. Le Guin’s 80th birthday, Karen Joy Fowler and Debbie Notkin put together a volume of tributes and appreciations, as a birthday present. The project, known in academic circles as a ’’festschrift, ’’ or ’’celebration book, ’’ resulted in a single copy, handbound in green leather, which Karen presented to Ursula a few days after her birthday in October. The original idea came from Kim Stanley Robinson, who also contributed an essay to the book. With Ms. Le Guin’s kind agreement, Aqueduct Press is delighted to share this unique celebration with Le Guin’s readers and fans. The book contains poetry, personal essays, academic essays, biographical information about Le Guin, as well as fiction, including previously unpublished fiction by Andrea Hairston and John Kessel. Publication will coincide with Le Guin’s 81st birthday. Contributors include Eleanor Arnason, Brian Attebery, Richard Chwedyk, Karen Joy Fowler, Molly Gloss, Eileen Gunn, Andrea Hairston, Jed Hartman, Gwyneth Jones, John Kessel, Ellen Kushner, Nancy Kress, Sarah LeFanu, Vonda N. McIntyre, Pat Murphy, Julie Phillips, Paul Preuss, Kim Stanley Robinson, Nisi Shawl, Lisa Tuttle, Ã0/00lisabeth Vonarburg, and Jo Walton, among others.
