evilsak 's review for:
The Left Hand of Darkness
by Ursula K. Le Guin
Definitely not the sci fi I expected, but I will say I enjoyed it. It was very hard to read from the beginning it puts you way deep into the world and it took a while for me to understand what’s happening. Also note that it was written in the 60s. I was very surprised with the themes it dealt with because these seem very relevant now.
Basically you have a person from earth visiting a completely different world where people are not defined in the binary sex as humans from his world are. It was interesting to see how the protagonist dealt with internal casual sexism that he learned from earth and how that translated to the new world. I enjoyed also the folklore stories presented. In general though it’s not plot heavy. I will be reading more of hers to explore this insanely elaborate world in more depth.
