From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017
"It's here where I suggest people read books like Woolf's To The Lighthouse to see what she does by moving from mind to mind. Or Tolstoy's War and Peace for goodness' sake. Wow. The way he slides from one point of view to another without you knowing that you've changed point of view – he does it so gracefully. You know where you are, whose eyes you are seeing through, but you don't have the sense of being jerked from place to place. That's mastery of a craft."
From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017 "To assume that the present tense is literally 'now' and the past tense literally remote in time is extremely naïve."
From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017 "Nothing cures nervousness quicker than getting interested in the conversation."
