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 her 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.”

"This delightful book [is] inquisitive and stroppily opinionated in equal measure . . . In even these miscellanies, composed in [Le Guin's] off hours, the sentences are perfectly balanced and the language chosen with care. After all, she writes, 'Words are my matter--my stuff.' And it's through their infinite arrangements . . . that Ms. Le Guin's extraordinary imaginary worlds have been built and shared." --Wall Street Journal
"There are shades of Adrienne Rich her . . . At the end of No Time to Spare, having enjoyed all the Annals of Pard and the Steinbeck anecdotes, the stories about the Oregon desert and the musings on belief, all I could think was: I want Le Guin to keep going, on and on. I want to read more." --Michelle Dean, Los Angeles Times
" No Time to Spare, deriving from Le Guin's online essays, covers just about anything that crosses her mind, from 'lit biz' to cats to the Oregon landscape . . . Might there be truth to the commonplace that science fiction writers are prophets? . . . A year ago I argued that Le Guin deserved a Nobel Prize in literature. In fact--what a fantasy!--she ought to be running the country." --Washington Post
"In No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters, Le Guin shows that elders have plenty to teach . . . [She] finds inspiration in the everyday and makes it sparkle with her prose . . . In step with her legacy, [she] challenges us to reconsider what we automatically accept . . . No Time to Spare will leave readers hoping that Le Guin is given a bit more time to share her observations--on aging, art, our world--and to remind us of things we mustn't forget." --Newsday
"[ No Time to Spare is] erudite, witty and . . . wise . . . even in pieces about her cat, or about answering fan mail, [Le Guin] makes the reader continually conscious of the ways that her age is a part of her life. That subtle coherence gives the book a special feeling, to borrow her words . . . a 'steady, luminous ethical focus' . . . Deep down there: that is where Le Guin has taken readers for decade after decade, and where, these essays show, she is capable of taking them still." --Chicago Tribune
"Le Guin's new book, No Time to Spare . . . feels like the surprising and satisfying culmination to a career in other literary forms . . . Even in the familiar relationship of an old woman and her cat, Le Guin finds an ambit for challenging moral insight and matter for an inquisitiveness that probes the deep time of evolution . . . Blogs may not be novels, but a blog by Le Guin is no ordinary blog, either. It is a comfort to know, as reality seems to grow more claustrophobic and inescapable, that she remains at her desk, busily subverting our world." --New Republic
"The more you re-read this collection of blog posts by science fiction Grandmaster Le Guin, the more you're convinced of Oliver Wendell Holmes's quip that for the true thinker, nothing is trivial . . . [ No Time to Spare] is delivered in the core-drilling, clear, thoughtful language of somebody who's been crafting English for more than half a century--but the entries on the craft of writing itself are, perhaps predictably, the best things in the book." -- Christian Science Monitor
"[Le Guin's] clever observations and sharp, nimble prose provide a window into the interior life of the award-winning novelist." --Harper's Bazaar?
