 |   A month-long novel-planning challenge with prizes galore. |
Why should we read this author? Who can tell me? 10,000 gift points to the first answer with book title. Give me the genre she is famous for as well. I think hard times are coming when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies. We will need writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries ā the realists of a larger reality. āUrsula K. Le Guin Queen NormaJean 2023 Quill Finalist. 2023 Quill Nominee.

| I think she's a Sci-Fi-author. I have her book The Left Hand Of Darkness on TBR-stack, which is about a weird planet called Winter, where inhabitants ā when I understood it right ā are neutrals and only turn into "men" and "women" during, er... when they make sure their race lives on.  The book was mentioned in a space doc about how real science fiction really is, a few months ago, when I couldn't sleep.  Why would I read that book eventually?  Because it sounds freakish enough for me to interest me. |

YAY, thank you, Ms. QueenNormaJean maybesnow?!   ! Thank you also for the links.  I've put "The Left Hand Of Darkness" onto my stack to inspire me for NaNo (Vince might read it.  ), next to "Heartburn" by Nora Ephron (Laura will definitely read it after being freshly dumped ) |
