Join Ursula K. Le Guin as she explores a broad array of subjects, ranging from Tolstoy, Twain, and Tolkien to women's shoes, beauty, and family life. With her customary wit, intelligence, and literary craftsmanship, she offers a diverse and highly engaging set of stories.

The Wave in the Mind includes some of Le Guin's finest literary criticism, rare autobiographical writings, performance-art pieces, and most centrally, her reflections on the arts of writing and reading.

This woman was a rare genius. Very generous of her to write so many surprisingly accurate ideas.

Essential Reading

The essays in this book are interesting, surprising, and thought-provoking. The inquiring mind, disciplined thinking, and mastery of words possessed by the author come through clearly.

The narrator is perfectly suited to the material. Her phrasing and intonation fit the complex sentence structure and discursive narrative of the essays perfectly.

HEY AUDIBLE: YOU NEED MORE NARRATORS LIKE THIS. I HAVE PURCHASED (AND IN TWO CASES RETURNED) BOOKS WHERE A LARGE PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS NARRATORS WHO HAD NO IDEA WHERE SENTENCES STARTED OR STOPPED, OR HOW THEY FLOWED. IF THEY CAN'T READ THE MATERIAL PROPERLY, WHY ARE YOU PAYING THEM?

Thoughtful, literate, intelligent, heartfelt

This collection truly touched and inspired me. It made me feel a little less alone in this world. I trust her writing, and now I’m a little less scared of Dragons.

Honest and deeply beautiful

There is plenty to engage any reader in this book. She tackles a wide range of subjects with sharp humor and perception. A great iconoclast. The narrator does a fine job.
