The Realms of Ursula K Le Guin

This event took place on 23 January 2024

An online gathering of the great writer’s kith and kin

Few writers enjoy the loyalty that Ursula K. Le Guin has inspired in her generations of readers. Her work has been translated into 42 languages and remained in print for over half a century.

Her fantasy novel A Wizard of Earthsea, the first in a related group of six books and one short story, has sold millions of copies worldwide. She has won a National Book Award, seven Hugo Awards, six Nebula Awards, the Howard Vursell Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the PEN/Malamud Award, and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. In 2000, she was named a Living Legend by the Library of Congress.

Join Theo Downes Le Guin, Ursula’s son and literary executor; Julie Phillips, her biographer, and writer Nicola Griffiths (shortlisted for the 2023 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction) for an evening of appreciation and exploration.
