This week's focus is Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia. It is very good sci-fi. It is very good political fiction. It is very good anarchism study. It is very good utopia study. It is very good. More to come as I finish it. I'll also be reading the rest of the Hainish Cycle, as I've always meant to do.

Le Guin is easily one of the greatest writers in American history, or, at the very least, American sci-fi, and even with all the praise, I don't feel she's nearly appreciated enough. Interestingly, I've never read Octavia E. Butler, but she evokes the most wild range of responses from people I've ever seen.
