cylinda 's review for:

The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.25
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No

I really love Le Guin’s commitment to the unimpressive ‘hero’. This is the first novel of hers I’ve read, though Kathy Velikov introduced me to her words and essays throughout 2019. 

Reminded me to revisit the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, an essay I continue to find no fault or disagreements with. What a powerful writer. I wish I had found her when I was a child. 

The anxiety of our world is real. Ursula K Le Guin is a future teller.
