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.
