Synopsis

15 brand-new short stories inspired by and in honour of legendary writer Ursula K. Le Guin.

Ursula K. Le Guin was a master storyteller and one of the most beloved and respected writers the science fiction and fantasy field has known. An SFWA Grand Master, World Fantasy Award Lifetime Achievement recipient, and Science Fiction Hall of Fame Recipient, she created work that touched hearts, changed minds, and inspired generations. 

With Revolution in the Heart award-winning editor Jonathan Strahan asked fifteen of the most celebrated writers working in science fiction and fantasy today to create new and urgent works inspired by Le Guin’s work and words. Stories that breathe life into new worlds of their own – venturing beyond Earthsea and the tales of the Hain – and that answer the challenge that Le Guin raised in 2014 when she gave a speech at the National Book Awards:

Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom – poets, visionaries – realists of a larger reality. 

Hard times have, indeed, come and the fifteen writers whose stories make up Revolution in the Heart are all realists offering us unique glimpses of different and larger realities that we need right now.
