A review by makennadykstra
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

4.5

when miss le guin’s introduction argues scifi does not predict or prescribe, but instead describes what is at hand to describe, then she launches a gender expansive epic (no one is biologically or socially gendered & gender does not exist as a form? binaries are fluid? dualism cannot be escaped but it can be upended and divorced from power disparities?) !!! in which every year is Year One: presentness& communality infused in very sense of being?? very badass
