URSULA K. LE GUIN IS NBF'S 2014 MEDALIST FOR DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTION TO AMERICAN LETTERS

Ursula K. Le Guin will receive the Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in recognition of her transformative impact on American literature. For more than forty years, Le Guin has defied conventions of narrative, language, character, and genre, as well as transcended the boundaries between fantasy and realism, to forge new paths for literary fiction.
