By Joyce MacPhee of Epoch Times
Renowned fantasy/science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin was the brightest star in the constellation of authors appearing at the Ottawa Writer’s Festival.
Appearing at the closing session on Saturday, the 79-year-old author wowed the capacity crowd at St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts and Humanities with her readings and responses to questions from the Festival’s artistic director Sean Wilson, and audience members.
Le Guin’s impressive output includes 24 novels, 10 volumes each of poetry and short story collections, 15 children’s books, as well as literary criticisms and translations. She was a Pulitzer Prize nominee and winner of many prestigious honours, including multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. Her most famous works are The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and her fantasy classic The Earthsea Trilogy.
