Hi all. Once I read about UKL's casting preferences for a LHoD movie, I thought it would be fun to make an actual poster for it using Sigourney Weaver and...
you mean - a very long way from anywhere else? - excellent book! Did you know that there are 2 further Earthsea books after Tehanu, one short stories (Tales...
Quiet here lately. ... It's worth noting that UKL's beautifully insightful "young adult" novel starring Owen Griffiths goes by two different names...here in ...
I don't know exactly what happened with the "Left Hand of Darkness" movie poll. The site reports 0 answers for both choices, but this is not correct at all....
... Hmm...interesting. It should be noted that there's a larger issue of unreliability with those polls--whenever I've run them as a moderator of a group, I...
I've been meaning for some time to reply to "flewddur"s question about the difference in tone between the first three books of Earthsea and Tehanu. Basically...
The reviews that _Tehanu_ got on publication make very interesting reading. Some reviewers found it a disappointing book, alien in feel from its predecessors...
So far, all I've heard from my English friends is that A Very Long Way from Anywhere Else 'sounds "snappier" in colloquial English English.' i'm surprised...
... Publishers do strange things. ... A very old problem. On a time, more novels changed titles on transatlantic journeys than didn't, I'd guess. This...
<< A very old problem. On a time, more novels changed titles on transatlantic journeys than didn't, I'd guess. >> Take Harry Potter, for example: the...
thank you, David, for reminding us about "Earthsea Revisited", which is really the best possible answer to the question of why Tehanu was so different from the...
Salon.com has included UKL's new book The Birthday of the World in its April books roundup... http://www.salon.com/books/review/2002/04/26/leguin/index.html ...
... That cover art makes no sense, I agree. It looks like someone got Anarres confused with Arrakis (Dune. Desert Planet.). But it's funny you should single...
... The one thing I'll say is that I dearly love the cover for The Left Hand of Darkness that's shown on that page, the one with the male/female faces joined...
OK - suitably chastened! My copy of The Disposessed looks nothing like it. In any event, many of my UKL books have cover pictures which are just vague ...
... My favourite covers are from a Puffin slipcase edition of the first three Earthsea novels. I don't have the slipcase anymore, and I have lost or given away...
You all have inspired me to contribute to the cover art effort. I've scanned the covers of my older and/or rarer Le Guin editions and posted them at...
... Somewhere along the line I think the various quoted text got confused, so I need to stop receiving unearned credit for the question that started this...
... Interesting...I guess I interpret that art very differently than do. I don't see it as a comment on the physicality of Gethenians at all, but rather on the...
Yes, that's the Tombs of Atuan one - but what about the back cover? ... From: "Roddy Graham" <roddy.graham@...> To: <the-ekumen@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Oh I don't know Axl, I like the one EL NOMBRE DEL MUNDO ES BOSQUE (presumably The Word for World is Forest) it gives the right sort of beautiful paranioa feel...
I think this is wonderful. The different titles and artwork. If the title is The Dark Hand of Darkness how does that translate to Left Hand. It seems it...
Leah Yes, the art is attractive, in the context of the book, but if you're going to buy the book and don't know the story it's not as attractive as the English...
