Oregon Contemporary's Le Guin Exhibition: Earthsea Maps, Cat Drawings, and a Full-Scale Reproduction of Her Writing Room

Curated by her son, Theo Downes-Le Guin, the new show installed at Oregon Contemporaryis, by his definition, "nonobjective"-a sprawling love note unembarrassed by its devotion. Braiding her personal and creative worlds, the exhibition pulls together interactive installations, a working typewriter, and hand-drawn maps of Earthsea. And that's just scratching the surface.

"Her voice is as familiar to me as my own," says Theo Downes-Le Guin, youngest child of hugely influential Portland author Ursula K. Le Guin. "That voice is inside my head while I'm reading." Most aren't so fortunate, even if they feel at home in Le Guin's Earthsea and Hainish universes. Before her death in 2018, Le Guin was unanimously regarded as the leading light of American science fiction.
