    Sorry to hear Ursula K Le Guin has passed away. RIP to an author I thoroughly enjoyed reading many years ago.

    She was best known for the Earthsea series, written for young adults, and her 1969 sci-fi classic The Left Hand of Darkness, set on a planet called Gethen, where everyone is ambisexual.

    In a career spanning more than half a century, she won a number of Nebula and Hugo science fiction and fantasy awards.
    She also received the Newbery Medal, the top honour for US children's literature and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American letters.

    Indeed. Read a lot of her shorts in my youth.
