A review by libellum_aphrodite
The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.0
"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new."

My favorite part of all the world's remakings via Orr's dreams is the absence of an easy way out of humanity's various predicaments.

If you want to solve humanity's problems or your own problems, you have to look them straight in the face and accept the consequences.
