Science fiction and fantasy author Ursula K Le Guin, author of “The Left Hand of Darkness” and the Earthsea series, died in her home in Portland, Oregon, her son said on Tuesday. Le Guin was the author of 20 novels, six volumes of poetry, 13 books for children, many short stories as well as literary criticism, according to her website. Le Guin continued writing well after she told her family she did not think she had the stamina to write even blog entries, her son said. “She was more or less never not writing,” Theo Downes-Le Guin told Reuters. She is survived by her husband, Charles Le Guin, her son Theo, and two daughters, Caroline and Elisabeth Le Guin.
