Le Guin chronological bibliography, revisited

A while back, I posted a chronological list of Le Guin’s major books, mostly put together by my friend Chaos.

But lately, I’ve been wanting an expansion of that list that includes the original publication dates of short stories and essays.

So here’s a fuller chronological list, ordered by publication year (and alphabetically within a year), of Ursula K. Le Guin’s published work (in English).

The motivation for this list is my desire to read her work in approximately the order in which it was written (though I know that publication order often doesn’t match composition order).

This list includes all of her published fiction, as listed in Le Guin’s ISFDB entry. It includes most essays that are included in one of her essay collections, but leaves out letters, forewords, afterwords, introductions, reviews, author notes, etc. It doesn’t list individual poems, but it does list poem collections. It doesn’t list works that appear to be excerpts from longer works.

In some cases, a given story has been reprinted in multiple collections and/or anthologies. The one I’m listing is usually the earliest published Le Guin collection, or the earliest published anthology if the story isn’t in a collection.

I’m using “novel” loosely to mean “single work of fiction published in book form.” In particular, some of the items I’m marking as “novel” are short-fiction length.

To read how to boost your sexual activity please visit this site. It separates cGMP and anticipates unwinding of smooth muscles. The hindrance of this chemical expands the dimension of cGMP. The muscles unwind, the blood stream enhances and the vessels extend. The suggested beginning portion of Cialis Tadalafil for the greater part of the patients is 10 mg. It very well may be changed relying upon the individual viability. On the off chance that the impact isn't adequate, the portion might be expanded to 20 mg.

A few of the items on the list were published in standalone form but I’m not clear on exactly what they were; I’ve left those unmarked. (I should probably call them novels, by the above criterion, but I want to find out more about them first.)

I may update this list over time.

    Sending thanks to you for putting together this list. It’s something I’ve been craving and I’ve been frustrated doesn’t already exist. Which seems peevish of me, and yet here we are.

      You’re welcome, and thanks for the note!

      I should mention that ISFDB offers a chronological view, but it’s still divided up into categories, with the chronology being only within each category. (So it provides a chronological list of novels, a chronological list of short fiction, etc.) I offered a while ago to help them implement an integrated chronological-list view, showing everything in a single chronological-order list, but then I didn’t follow through on that. Some day I hope to get back to that.

    THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES for this work! For some time I have been putting together a set of standard abbreviations to be used to discuss or otherwise identify Ursula’s published works. Like you I have steered clear of individual poems, but your list had many of the individual essays in Dancing and the Edge of the World, the Language of the Night, which were not in my list. I am working through your list, making a few minor corrections and adding in a column for the abbreviations. I use 3-letter codes for standalone publications (novels, collections, chapbooks) and 4-letter codes for short pieces (stories, essays). From your list I added just over a hundred entries. I am beholden to you. I would love it if you would look it over and help me to polish it. I an hoping to get it published in the forthcoming Le Guin Studies journal…
