Yeah, I think Le Guin straddles both lines quite well, and her SF is very different from her fantasy.

Left Hand of Darkness for example is quite a difficult read. Wizard of Earthsea, on the other hand, not so much.

And then there's her huge swath of short stories in addition to translation work (such as the fiction of Angélica Gorodischer).
