This wonderful collection of essays, penned while the author was in her eighties was published shortly before her death on January 22 of this year. Included are topics as varied as growing old, the "f" word, writing, politics, catching a rattlesnake, eating soft boiled eggs in the shell, the Oregon food bank, her cat, the story of a captive lynx, and much more. There is much to think about and much that is just entertaining. The collection shows off her ability to write not just the science fiction and children's books for which she is most well known. Time to dust off The Left Hand of Darkness for a re-read.
