Steering the Craft: A Twenty-First-Century Guide to Sailing the sea of Story
Guin Ursula K. Le
Synopsis "Steering the Craft: A Twenty-First-Century Guide to Sailing the sea of Story"
From the celebrated Ursula K. Le Guin, "a writer of enormous intelligence and wit, a master storyteller" (Boston Globe), the revised and updated edition of her classic guide to the essentials of a writer's craft. Completely revised and rewritten to address modern challenges and opportunities, this handbook is a short, deceptively simple guide to the craft of writing. Le Guin lays out ten chapters that address the most fundamental components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view. Each chapter combines illustrative examples from the global canon with Le Guin's own witty commentary and an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group. She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online. Masterly and concise, Steering the Craft deserves a place on every writer's shelf.
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (1929 - 2018) cultivó tanto la narrativa, en forma de novela y cuento, como la poesía y la crítica. Su amplia obra ha merecido múltiples galardones, entre los que destacan el National Book Award, el American Book Award y numerosos premios Hugo, Nebula, Jupiter y Locus.
En 1991 recibió el Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award, otorgado por la American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, y en 2001, el SF Hall of Fame a toda su trayectoria. En el otro viento, la última novela de Terramar incluida en el volumen Historias de Terramar, recibió en 2002 el Premio World Fantasy. En 2003 fue elegida Gran Maestro por la SFWA, la asociación norteamericana de escritores de ciencia ficción.
Ella misma se describía como una persona «feminista, conservacionista, ecologista, norteamericana, apasionadamente comprometida con la literatura, paisaje y vida de la Costa Oeste».
