As a kid, I was a big fan of The Wizard of Earthsea series (the Tombs of Atuan being the best, of course) but hadn't really read too much of her adult work. I think I tried to start this or The Left Hand of Darkness in high school and couldn't quite grasp either. The Left Hand of Darkness destroyed me emotionally when I read it recently and I may never recover -Ai and Estraven! Ah! - and now, I'm not sure I will stop thinking about this book.
"We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words." - Le Guin, Speech in Acceptance of the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters
ALSO: Shevek and Takver are couple goals and I love their family.
