Le Guin surprise

I ordered Unlocking the Air by Ursula K. Le Guin from abe.com because I wanted her essays on SF and they also had this one & why pay all that shipping for just one book? And it came today, and the book is signed! Le Guin inscribed it to Ms. Jane Someone in Virginia. (Love it.)

Did I ever tell you that one of my professors is Ursula K. Le Guin's daughter? She's a lesbian baroque cellist, and very cool.

of course she's a lesbian cellist!?!

You must read the Tiptree biography called James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon by Julie Phillips. The best parts are Tiptree's pen friendships with (among others) Le Guin and Joanna Russ...utterly fascinating & really intense relationships between these artistic powerhouses.
