Portland author and perennial Powell’s staff favorite Ursula K. Le Guin passed away on Monday at the age of 88. Renowned for her gorgeous and deeply intelligent contributions to the science fiction and fantasy genres, Le Guin was also a pithy observer of American culture and a fierce advocate for freedom of expression.
Rest in peace, Ursula K. Le Guin. Powell’s and readers everywhere will miss you.

That’s too bad - I enjoyed her series when I was young. Her heroes spoke to me.
