romixu 's review for:
The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
by Ursula K. Le Guin
I had read ahead of time that this book was more a collection of conversations than narrative story and was prepared for something a bit more dense and slow but my god I missed this book every time I put it down. the alternating timelines is so wonderful for the pacing and for the dual exposition of these two worlds, the scientific and political language while being highly intellectual never feels alienating, nothing is presented as an agenda (not that it would be entirely wrong to do so) and leaves so much room in its neutrality for the reader to think for themselves. and on top of all that it is a beautiful story with a beating heart at its center. it is impossible for the compassion and intelligence of this woman’s soul to not shine through in everything she writes
