Pretty sure LeGuin was just a salty bitch about her own boy-goes-to-wizard-school novels not being appreciated the way she wanted. She raged at her publisher for the cover art and shat all over the tv adaptation of A Wizard of Earthsea. She had a lot of unconcealed bitter emotions around how that series was marketed and received.

Most adaptations are. It's no secret what happens to most books that get turned into tv, especially then. Either take the Micheal Caine Jaws IV approach and cash the check with a smile or don't sell the rights. Or use your clout like a certain other author did and insist you be given contractually guaranteed veto power over the casting and script.

I know she's a legend, but everybody told me to start with a short story that I found so contrived and morally facile that I've reflexively loathed her for years.

I don't care how great her body of work was, that story is the most Ana Mardoll flavored thing I've ever read.

She also I think expected Rowling to say that she was inspired by Earthsea or only could have done it because of her pacing the way and when she didn't got snotty. Similar thing with Pratchett and Discworld. The fact is that Rowling I don't think ever was much of a fantasy reader and also wasn't from the wanky academic creative writing tradition, and so didn't spend her interviews sucking off the rest of the British fantasy world like they desperately felt she should.

Catwings was good, everything else was hippie bullshit.

Wasn't it Ricky Gervais who said "Offense can never be given, it can only be taken"?

Or on a similar note.

She was right though. She was one of the best SF writers of all time, and I don't mean best women SF writers but just best writers period.

Example: The Lathe of Heaven. Reality-bending worthy of Philip K. Dick.

What’s up with faggots having fetishes for little boys? Are they that desperate?

Gay or straight pedophiles have a fetish for ruining children’s innocence, and they love having power over whoever they’re raping, so it isn’t desperation, it’s perversion. They don’t want the equal relationship with an adult partner, it’s the violation of someone smaller and trusting that gets them off.
