Excerpt:
The National Book Foundation in America can lay claim to a staggeringly
impressive list of past recipients of its Medal for Distinguished Contribution
to American Letters: Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Joan Didion, Toni Morrison, Ray
Bradbury, John Updike. Stephen King, too, to a great deal of grumpiness from
Harold Bloom back in 2003. On Wednesday, though, it announced 2014\222s winner \226
and I think she may, possibly, be my favourite yet: the wonderful, the
inimitable, Ursula K Le Guin.
