Ursula Le Guin's acceptance speech at the American Book Awards 2014

An acerbic commentary on the publishing industry from someone who's been in it for a long, long time; very successfully, I might add.

I've added Neil Gaiman's intro because it says so much about both of them.

I came across this by accident; posted as recently as November last year.

I'm a huge fan: Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed and the Earthsea Quartet, which I re-read not that long ago. She's one of the greats: up there with Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert and Arthur C Clarke.
