A review by cattytrona
Space Crone by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.0
really wonderful, insightful collection. the peaks are so high, the insights generous. i really think it’s a book to treasure, to come back to as i live, which is not a typical response i have.
i particularly like the decision to mix fiction in with the essays. it makes a lot of sense, they’re all ways at the truth. ‘sud’ is really wonderful. and having just read always coming home, the inclusion of the extension of ‘dangerous people’ was a gift — i didn’t know there was more to read! i only wish the original chapter was also included as well, instead of being summarised: i don’t have my copy of always coming home with me (and i feel like most people don’t have a copy at all), so whilst i wanted to go away and read it, as a whole document, i couldn’t.
