The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader and the Imagination

I started a read-all-the-Le Guin-I've-never-read kick a couple of months ago in order to feel good about my presence on a The Works of Le Guin panel at Worldcon. The panel is over. I'm still reading.
This book is less focused than the magnificent Steering the Craft. There are pieces on writing, but also speeches and notes and random essays donated to various projects. They're all worth a read. Le Guin's thoughts on aging and being a woman and being a human and being an island are as prescient and humorous and insightful on her thoughts on being a writer. This woman is a national treasure.

“There’s another option. You can consider the reader, not as a helpless victim or a passive consumer, but as an active, intelligent, worthy collaborator. A colluder, a coillusionist.”
