Dreamsnake
by Vonda N. McIntyre
I read a piece that Ursula LeGuin wrote about [b:Dreamsnake|263021|Dreamsnake|Vonda N. McIntyre|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1440756641l/263021._SY75_.jpg|254960] that was published in her book [b:Words Are My Matter: Writings About Life and Books, 2000–2016, with A Journal of a Writer's Week|29363335|Words Are My Matter Writings About Life and Books, 2000–2016, with A Journal of a Writer's Week|Ursula K. Le Guin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1470694965l/29363335._SX50_.jpg|49608748]. LeGuin calls the book “beautiful, powerful, and highly entertaining”. With which I agree. She points out that there is one character in the book, Merideth, whose gender is never revealed. LeGuin pictured Merideth as male and I pictured Merideth as female. Very interesting.
This is biological science fiction. The main character, Snake, is a healer in a system that uses snakes. There is biofeedback, gene splicing, etc. in the story. Dreamsnake is an adventure story with a young woman as the main character. She faces moral and intellectual as well as physical challenges.
Enjoyable!
