| Re: Ursula Le Guin's best?
The Left Hand of Darkness would of course be a strong candidate, but for my personal favourite(s), I would have to bring forth some of her less known work:
The Eye of the Heron, about a "riot" on a prison planet, a sad, moving story about those wise, friendly characters I would think we all love.
But there is also the first UKL I read, Orsinian Tales, which is halfway "mainstream", about the lives of people in the imaginary Eastern European country Orsinia.
Both these books posess a sort of tender beauty that marks out Le Guin as the best writer I've ever read. |
