Ursula K. Le Guin: Always Coming Home (Loa #315): Author's Expanded Edition by Ursula K. Le Guin
5.0
Pandora, an anthropologist, collects information about a people who lived in California in the future. Through collected narratives, plays, poems, songs, and short explanatory pieces, she slowly builds a picture of this utopian society.
Although there is a culturally appropriative element to it that would probably make it unpublishable today, it was clearly labour of love. The world LeGuin creates (or borrows from indigenous cultures) is fully realized, living and breathing, full of beauty, ugliness, and mystery.
