Books, you know, they’re not just commodities. The profit motive often is in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. - Ursula K. Le Guin Both UKLeG and her father (K is for Kroeber, as in Alfred Kroeber, the father of California archaeology) are icons for me. She was given a National Book Award last night and her entire (short) acceptance speech is transcribed in conjunction with this video. This was long overdue. UKLeG for the win! :) electricliterature/watch-ursula-k-le-guins-amazing-nba-acceptance-speech/
