victorien 's review for:

Very Far Away from Anywhere Else by Ursula K. Le Guin

5.0

---

Short and sweet novella, about an hour read. I wish I had read this when I was the same age as Owen and Natalie; Le Guin has a way of making important concepts sound simple and easy, easier to understand and incorporate into yourself. Even still, I found myself pausing in certain places to admire how she worded something specific, whether it be the content, or how the words were chosen and placed together.

As always, her prose feels like coming home, languid and comforting.
