Genius.

Ursula K. Le Guin is a genius. Here’s the proof: “Ged stood still a while, like one who has received great news, and must enlarge his spirit to receive it.” (from A Wizard of Earthsea). I could only dream of writing that sort of sentence, you know?

Also? If for some weird reason you have not already read Kelly Link’s story “The Faery Handbag“, you should do that right now. I’m serious. It’s the kind of story to make readers blissful and writers envious. Link is amazing.

As you were.
