Since the time she learn how to read, Ursula K Le Guin never stopped. She read everything. She recalls becoming fascinated with the imagination necessary to create fantasy books. That was something she would want to do herself. Her work has been influenced by many authors such as Asimov, Sturgeon and Tolkien. Her approach to fantasy has sometimes been described as "soft" a term that the author does not quite understand. The truth is her work reflects her background. Being a daughter of an anthropologist (the famous anthropologist Alfred Krober), Ursula is interested in exploring the human nature and how the human kind would respond to exterior agents messing with the organization of society.
She has won many awards, including Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud.
