Ursula K. Le Guin
Seventeen short stories by a major sf luminary of generously ranging interests and likable convictions.
Margaret Atwood The Day Before the Revolution was written in memory of anarchist Paul Goodman whose work inspired Le Guin's novel The Dispossessed.
Taking up our resources, our time to care for you.” Brooks presents a case for making room for Bigfoot in the world while peppering his narrative with timely social criticism about bad behavior on the human side of the conflict: The explosion of Rainier might have been better forecast had the president not slashed the budget of the U.S. Geological Survey, leading to “immediate suspension of the National Volcano Early Warning System,” and there’s always someone around looking to monetize the natural disaster and the sasquatch-y onslaught that follows. It’s hard, of course, to compete with a beloved classic, so maybe the best way to read this new book is to forget about The Handmaid’s Tale and enjoy it as an artful feminist thriller.

There is Agnes Jemima, a girl who rejects the marriage her family arranges for her but still has faith in God and Gilead. At this point I'm most interested in the sci-fi short stories that are related to the novels set in the Hainish worlds.

Her scientific but respectful treatment of alien races is refreshing.
It is fairly simple and straightforward but creative.
One of the Terrans, Osden, is a powerful empath with the ability to detect empathy and sentience from anyone. I am not a estranger in the lands if Ursula K. Le Guinn, and as always, I feel taken by the and into beautiful and misterious places.

THE WIND’S TWELVE QUARTERS & THE COMPASS ROSE by Ursula K. Le Guin Gollancz. A volcanic eruption is quite another, for, as the journalist who does a framing voice-over narration for Brooks’ latest puts it, when Mount Rainier popped its cork, “it was the psychological aspect, the hyperbole-fueled hysteria that had ended up killing the most people.” Maybe, but the sasquatches whom the volcano displaced contributed to the statistics, too, if only out of self-defense. |
