      Great loss. It's hard to name one's favorite book *ever* but people do ask. I usually waver between saying The Dispossessed or the Left Hand of Darkness—both hers. Ursula K. LeGuin was a great American novelist with such great range and imagination. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/obituaries/ursula-k-le-guin-acclaimed-for-her-fantasy-fiction-is-dead-at-88.html …

      My mind is just looping on the ending of The Dispossessed. When I read that book first (because I read it many times!), I had just learned English. I remember feeling so so so thrilled that my new language gave me access to such an amazing story. What a gift it was.

          Science fiction as a genre is mixed bag, but whatever she did—imagine worlds not ours to think deeper about ours—has been so central to many of us trying to grapple with changing technology/society that her name came up so very often in discussions.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Margaret Killjoy  🏴

          In the interview, she names what she does as “imaginative fiction”. That’s it. That’s so much better than science fiction, fantasy or just novelist—she was more than all that, a true boundary breaker.https://twitter.com/magpiekilljoy/status/955972843799490565 …

          I couldn't put The Dispossessed down when I read it in 7th grade. #RIP

          My favorite passage from "The Dispossessed" "For each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tomb of the dead kings, and each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger."pic.twitter.com/nQR3gkhFZp

          It is such an amazing book.. I loved the genuine ambiguity. She put it in the title and she meant it.
