For the past 50 years, Ursula K. Le Guin's science fiction and fantasy books offered hope and inspiration to readers and writers everywhere. The episode of  "Literary Arts: The Archive Project" features the celebration of the life of Ursula during a recent public tribute.
The event featured tributes from writers and friends who represent the wide-ranging influence Le Guin has had on international literature for more than 50 years, including Margaret Atwood (by video), Molly Gloss, Walidah Imarisha, Jonathan Lethem, Kelly Link, China Miéville, and Daniel José Older. Andrea Schulz, Le Guin's editor at Harcourt, and Julie Phillips, Le Guin's biographer, also spoke at the tribute. The tribute included rare documentary footage of Le Guin, along with photos and images from her life and work, which can be viewed on the Literary Arts website.
