I love the way Le Guin uses words. She writes in a beautiful, physical way, almost tangible. This book is pretty wild, in that so much happens and so many issues are touched upon, yet, nothing at all happens and none of those issues are resolved. I believe that’s the point. I will say that Le Guin’s philosophy did help me see how I can understand and perhaps deal with my own internal despair and rage against existence itself.
