I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

On this day in 1968, Ursula Le Guin was rejected. The Left Hand of Darkness was published the following year, won both the Nebula and the Hugo (making her the first woman to receive the latter), and went on to become a landmark of science fiction.
