![]() ![]() ![]() Why do these cats have wings? They just do. Aimed at children, this is a bit of a slight story but it just comes alive with such whimsy and wonder in Le Guin’s clever prose. THEY ARE CATS THEY HAVE WINGS THIS IS DELIGHTFUL!īut for real, everything Ursula K Le Guin touched was gold, like Midas asking Dionysus for the gift of being an awesome author instead. ![]() The Hainish Cycle reflects the anthropologist's experience of immersing themselves in new strange cultures since most of their main characters and narrators (Le Guin favoured the first-person narration) are envoys from a humanitarian organization, the Ekumen, sent to investigate or ally themselves with the people of a different world and learn their ways. Her interest in non-Western philosophies was reflected in works such as "Solitude" and The Telling but even more interesting are her imagined societies, often mixing traits extracted from her profound knowledge of anthropology acquired from growing up with her father, the famous anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. She was known for her treatment of gender ( The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems ( The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. ![]()

We’ll have to wait until April to start picking up the new installments but thankfully that is only five months of painful waiting ahead of us! The original novel was already adapted as a comic in 1988 but being able to expand on the story should have everyone thrilled. We planned a final, five-issue storyline that would give the book a satisfying end while bringing back a host of familiar side characters we had introduced over the years. “I am thrilled to see this series back in print, with Marvano’s matchless artwork!” On returning to Earth he will find that with so much time having passed, humanity has “transformed into something almost as terrifying as the aliens he had fought earlier.” He tried to take “his family into a brave new world” and his plans “go awry in an entirely unexpected way.” In the new series, we’ll be again following William Mandella who is one of the survivors of an intergalactic war. ![]() Joe Haldeman’s ‘The Forever War’ is a 1974 cult classic novel in the science fiction community and soon we’ll see a comic take on the 1999 sequel released titled ‘The Forever War: Forever Free’! The novel was a smash hit and was even slated to have a film adaptation released, so a follow up is great news for fans! While we have no word if the movie is still in production, it is thrilling to hear that a new comic is in the works which will visually continue the story! Art is being tackled by European artist Marvano and from the early previews that we can share with you, it looks as if they’ve picked the perfect artist for the job! ![]() |
