Le Guin is renowned for her spare, elegant prose, rich characterization, and diverse worlds. "Things" is a short story originally published in the collection The Wind's Twelve Quarters.
Both of them also have amazing prose and could fill in some gaps for you :)
Her writing thoughtfully explores complex themes without resorting to shock value, making it a profound read.
