“If the memory is reliable and the mind is clear, then the intelligent old person has an extraordinary breadth and depth of understanding,” says Ursula Le Guin. And her book perfectly illustrates this maxim. Here is a selection of essays - and at the same time not quite an essay. These are entries from the blog that the writer kept in the last years of her life, reflections on the most important things - witty, ironic, and at the same time lyrical and deep. They have a place for a variety of topics: writing, art, politics, feminism, cats and much more. Ursula Le Guin invites you to reflect on all this with her.Published in Russian for the first time.
