About This Novel
Ursula Le Guin is a legendary figure in the contemporary American literary world and an unwavering gatekeeper of the humanistic spirit. "I Make a Life of Writing" is Le Guin's non-fiction anthology, which includes a series of her articles about life and literature from 2000 to 2016. There are a total of 67 short articles and one note, which are mainly divided into speeches, essays and critical articles. As Le Guin said, "Words are my profession." In this book, she talks freely about her literary concepts, is deeply concerned about the position of literature in today's world, and the reading situation in our era, and specifically analyzes the works of Atwood, Bolaño, Calvino, Saramago and other predecessors. The representative works of writers and contemporary masters show the depth and breadth of contemporary novels, and reveal their own reading and experience, writing and thinking, presenting an extremely precious ideological portrait and literary autobiography, as well as an unparalleled private history of science fiction literature and women's literature. At the same time, she also provides us with a possible perspective to explore the world around us through the lens of literature.
