INTERVIEWER
How do you feel about the term science fiction, as connected to your work?
LE GUIN
Well, that’s very complicated, Wray.
INTERVIEWER
I’m sorry. Are you at peace with it? Do you find it reductive?
LE GUIN
I don’t think science fiction is a very good name for it, but it’s the name that we’ve got. It is different from other kinds of writing, I suppose, so it deserves a name of its own. But where I can get prickly and combative is if I’m just called a sci-fi writer. I’m not. I’m a novelist and poet. Don’t shove me into your damn pigeonhole, where I don’t fit, because I’m all over. My tentacles are coming out of the pigeonhole in all directions.
INTERVIEWER
That’s how one can identify a sci-fi author, I guess—tentacles coming out of the pigeonhole.
LE GUIN
That’s right.

25 DAYS OF GRISHA CHALLENGE
Day 24 - Favorite quote"This was his soul made flesh, the truth of him laid bare in the blazing sun, shorn of mystery and shadow.

Honestly, I hope that in Ruin and Rising Alina plays pirate for a few weeks again with Nikolai Sexy Lantsov and badass Tolya and Tamar, also Botkin can tag along with Zoya. Oh, and in my little fantasy Alina and Nikolai fall in love I’m sorry I’m not sorry.
But wait… where did that coat come from??? Give to me.
