Excerpt:
A century from now people will still be reading the fantasy stories of
Ursula K Le Guin with joy and wonder. Five centuries from now they might
ask if their author ever really existed, or if Le Guin was an identity
made from the work of many writers rolled into one. A millennium on and
her stories will be so familiar, like myths and fairytales today, that
only dedicated scholars will ask who wrote them. Such is the fate of the
truly great writers, whose stories far outlive their names.
