Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (1929-2018) was an American author best known for her works of speculative fiction, including science fiction works set in her Hainish universe, and the Earthsea fantasy series. Her literary career spanned nearly sixty years, producing more than twenty novels and over a hundred short stories, in addition to poetry, literary criticism, translations, and children's books. Cultural anthropology, Taoism, feminism, and the writings of Carl Jung all had a strong influence on Le Guin's work. Many of her stories use anthropologists or cultural observers at protagonists, and Taoist ideas about balance and equilibrium have been identified in several writies. Philip K. Dick and Le Guin went to the same high-school, but they did not know each other. She also considered J.R.R. Tolkien and Leo Tolstoy to be stylistic influences. FORN-MSB-0723-0725-HK360
