A collection of insightful, funny, sharp essays exploring the acclaimed author's changed and changing thoughts on language, feminism, power and imagination

'A trove of delights' Los Angeles Times Books Review

'I have decided that the trouble with print is, it never changes its mind,' writes Ursula K. Le Guin in her introduction to Dancing at the Edge of the World. But she has. Here is the record of that change.

Strong, supple, disciplined and playful, ranging over a vast field of concerns from modern literature to menopause, utopian thought to rodeos, this extraordinary collection reveals new sides to a trailblazing and beloved author with an eloquence, wit, and precision that makes for exhilarating reading.

'One of the literary greats of the twentieth century' Margaret Atwood
