Ursula K. Le Guin on the true pain of being a writer

Screenshot of a single question and answer from interview in the Times Literary Supplement with Ursula K. Le Guin. Here is the quote:

If you could make a change to anything you’ve written over the years, what would it be?

In The Dispossessed, I would mention the communal pickle barrels at street corners in the big towns, restocked by whoever in the community has made or kept more pickles than they need. I knew about the free pickles all along, but never could fit them into the book.

Illustration of 2 mice in a blue kitchen, a tall one mixing batter in a bowl and a short one standing on a table amid a huge mess, holding a spoon and yelling. They both wear red turtlenecks.
