Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Related Book and the PEN Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the
Art of the Essay "The pages sparkle with lines that make a reader glance up  searching for an
available ear with which to share them. . . " -- Melissa Febos  The New York Times Book Review
From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin  a collection of thoughts--always adroit  often
acerbic--on aging  belief  the state of literature  and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le
Guin on the absurdity of denying your age: "If I'm ninety and believe I'm forty-five  I'm
headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub." On cultural perceptions of
fantasy: "The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?"
On breakfast: "Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice  but resolution  even
courage  possibly willingness to commit crime." Ursula K. Le Guin took readers to imaginary
worlds for decades. In the last great frontier of life  old age  she explored a new literary
territory: the blog  a forum where she shined. The collected best of Ursula's blog  No Time to
Spare presents perfectly crystallized dispatches on what mattered to her late in life  her
concerns with the world  and her wonder at it: "How rich we are in knowledge  and in all that
lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires  all of us."
