The world lost a great author and we lost a good friend when Ursula K. Le Guin passed away recently. In collaboration with the Le Guin family, Literary Arts is hosting a tribute to Ms. Le Guin on Wednesday, June 13th. The event is sold out, but it will be livestreamed on Youtube Live and recorded for rebroadcast on the Literary Arts podcast, The Archive Project. Information on how to livestream the event is on the Literary Arts website.
Broadway Books in Portland is hosting its own tribute to Ms. Le Guin, declaring June 13-16th to be Ursula K. Le Guin Days at Broadway Books. You can purchase any of her books in the store during that time for 20% off. If the store is out of stock on a book but it is one that can be ordered, you will still get the 20% off as long as you pay for the book when you order during that time period. There are so many great books to choose from — poetry, novels, essays, a little bit of everything! Thank you, Ms. Le Guin, for enriching our lives for so many years.
