Le Guin Comics at BookViewCafe.com!

In the tradition of Bunditsu: The Art of Cat Arranging, Book View Café presents Ursula K. Le Guin's “Cat T'ai Chi.” In addition for the next three months, one of BVC's Thursday Specials will be Le Guin's comics, including "Pillow Book for Cats" and "Supermouse." These one-of-a-kind comics, exclusive to Book View Café, represent some of the more unusual offerings at the website which also has an early screenplay from Le Guin, “King Dog.”

“Cat Tai Chi” is currently available for reading on-line with plans to make it available as an e-book soon.

Ursula K. Le Guin's Powers won the 2009 Nebula Award for best novel of the year.

Exactly.

I'm writing for me. If y'all like it, great. If I can get a publisher to pay me a bunch to hand it over, awesome.

But now? Now, I write for myself. Which is what I did first, and what should have done all along. I did American pioneers decades before anyone else, and I think I do it better than most. But I was ahead of the curve, as always. And now, we must think it all over. What can I do and make money to live on, too?
