When @ursulakleguin.com started writing a new novel, she would begin by drawing a map. The Word for World is the first publication focusing on her maps.

THE WORD FOR WORLD: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin is available in the US from @pointreyesbooks.bsky.social

Photo of a book with three large pebbles on a vivid blue table. The book cover is black with title in the same shade of blue. It was published to accompany the exhibition "The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin" at AA Gallery in London, UK, 2025.

The pebbles are etched with map drawings by Ursula.

The book was edited by So Mayer and Sarah Shin, and co-published by Spiral House (imprint of Silver Press) and AA Publications, with texts by Ursula K. Le Guin, Theo Downes-Le Guin, David Naimon, and others.

When Ursula K Le Guin was writing a new story, she would begin by drawing a map. The Word for World presents a selection of these images by the celebrated author, many of which have never been exhibited before, to consider how her imaginary worlds enable us to re-envision our own.

So I did a load of reading about Executors yesterday and I *think* you are correct, so I updated the blog post (+ credited you for the feedback - thanks!).
I guess it might be theoretically possible another executor resumes a task, but I dont think that would ever happen.
