Re: Ended up going from thrilled to disappointed with Le guin

Completely agree. An excellent example of this deceptive subtlely is the Lathe of Heaven, which is a great rereader - you see more in it every time. And yet the language is so straightforward and ...simple is the word, but simple like love, not simple like Simon. Le Guin's older books teem with this quality.
