Dancing at the Edge of the World: Thoughts on Words, Women, Places

This book arrived on time, and was well packaged. the book is quite old and has been well thumbed ( as advertised). I'm still reading it!

Loved it. A super selection of her writings and speeches. Her perspectives give the female voice at a time when it wasn't heard. She includes beautiful, funny and inclusive observations. Each piece of writing is like a star compacted into dense matter - small but very weighty. Her humour and playfulness come shining through. Great.

LeGuin writes sublimely & has a caustic wit. She tolerates no fools, as her pithy reviews of literature reveal. On the subjects of feminism and writing, you'd have to go a long way to beat her. Her life's journey from Berkeley to Portland is captured here, showing how important to the nation is the Western woman's intellect. This original thinker, sci-fi writer, & unapologetic humanist needs many successors!

Her writing is phenomenal. A mind that creates this writing is a blessing for us all.

We studied this book in our Sunday School class and it was very interesting. It collects a lot of Ms Le Guin's writing and is very thought provoking and engaging.

I love the essays she writes about life, writing and her philosophical insights into what it is to be human.

This author embraces all of her sister's qualities as experience arising in excellance. She is a wonderful writer clear and simple.
