I first came across Ursula K Le Guin’s writing in the early years of my book club, which formed in 2016 or 2017. I read the short stories from The Unreal and the Real. Her writing is poetry and elicits truths that I feel before I comprehend.

Authors and wizards are not always to be trusted: nobody can explain a dragon.

– Ursula Le Guin

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.

– Ursula Le Guin
